The Fontanini Tradition

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the Fontanini family business has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity figures.

Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted through a multi-generational, family-guided process in Italy.

Today, HouseofFontanini.com proudly carries that tradition forward. For over 25 years, we have been a locally owned Minnesota small business dedicated not just to selling Fontanini—but loving it too.

From our Minnesota warehouse, we live by our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
