For over a hundred years, Fontanini is a well-known premier designer and maker of heirloom quality nativities and figures; for it was in another Italian village, hundreds of years earlier, that St. Francis of Assisi introduced the celebration of Christ’s birth with a living nativity. It is also a custom for Italian families to sculpt figures of people from all walks of life as they pay homage to the newborn King. Fontanini focuses on this illustrious heritage and devotes both talent and skill to the production of their collection. The Bird Shelter is part of the 5" scale Fontanini Nativity collection. It's designed to fit with the 5" scale nativity, and be placed amongst your nativity set, thus recreating Bethlehem during the time of Christ's birth. The Bird Shelter is handmade in Italy.
