Fontanini Heirloom Nativity figures are richly detailed and hand-painted in an old-world palette for authenticity and enduring beauty. So many people in the small Tuscan town of Bagni di Lucca, through multiple generations, have played a role in creating Fontanini nativities and religious figures. These 5" figures are hand-crafted from a specially formatted polymer that is resistant to chipping and breaking and then delivered to locations throughout Bagni di Lucca, Italy, to be painted by the locals with non-toxic paints.  After painting, the Fontanini figurines are brought back to the factory for inspection, packaging and shipping.  The process is special as it allows you to have a truly "hand-made" Italian product.   A delightful accompaniment included in this Nativity Set are story cards which offer a fictional account of each figurine at the time of Christ’s birth. Offering a step back in time to Biblical Bethlehem, story cards provide memory-making opportunities and have become a cherished tradition for many families.
