Fontanini
This famous line has been an
important part of Christmasfor almost one hundred years. These collectibles began in a small village in Tuscany,
Italy. The creators have been working on these intricate figurines for
over four generations, with the help of family members and other who
live in the village. The process for making Fontanini collectibles is detailed and intricate, with very strict attention to detail. Before
any piece is introduced into the collection, a team of researchers
looks into ideas and the history of the pieces. A carefully chosen
panel determines the final outcome of what pieces will be added. Each
piece goes through a rigorous process, beginning with a sculptor who makes
the initial piece. Then, upon final approval, a smaller mold is made.
Once the mold has been produced, several people work on hand painting
each individual piece.
Perhaps the most popular of all
are the nativity sets. The sets are extremely popular
items, and usually change each year. The nativity sets are available
in many sizes, from very small to almost life size. Because of the process of making the pieces and the
high attention to detail, all Fontanini pieces are considered very
collectible. The line of products is to be treasured and enjoyed.
Fontanini collectibles make a wonderful gift as well as a precious
family heirloom.
