The Centennial Collection celebrates 100 years of the House of Fontanini and the excellence in Italian craftsmenship. Each Fontanini figurine begins as a clay prototype, fashioned by the sculptor Eli Simonetti. The figurines from the smaller series are then reproduced in a specially-formulated polymer.
The basic nativity sets can be expanded to include many figurines which are not generally available in standard cribs, such as villagers, musicians, and the innkeeper's wife; it is also possible to purchase additional buildings, such as the synagogue and the carpenter's shop. Many of the additional figurines are only available for a certain time. |
