Emanuele Fontanini Founder of Fontanini ® Emanuele Fontanini President Stefano Fontanini Chief Financial Officer Bagni di Lucca, Italy Home of Fontanini HISTORY OF FONTANINI In 1973, Roman, Inc. became exclusive distributor for Fontanini® Heirloom Nativities®. Already a world famous name in Italian craftsmanship for 65 years before the Nativities became widely available in the United States, the much sought-after collection was prized for its lifelike sculpting, meticulous hand painting and attention to detail. The partnership with Roman has made Fontanini® Heirloom Nativities® the most popular in America for more than 40 years. The family patriarch and company founder Emanuele Fontanini, embarked on his career of figurine crafting in 1893 as a talented 13-year-old apprentice to an artist in Bagni di Lucca, an area of Tuscany known for its great arts and crafts. Fontanini expanded his knowledge and skills in art through travels to European cities. He returned to Bagni di Lucca to launch his company in 1908, using money earned from the sale of his wares throughout the continent. Working with the finest painters and sculptors in Tuscany, Fontanini began crafting figures and decorations of heirloom quality in a single room shop. In time, the House of Fontanini gained recognition and acclaim for its work and Fontanini’s sons, Ugo, Mario and Aldo, joined him in the business. Later, Mario’s sons, Ugo, Mariano and Piero became the third generation to head up the rapidly growing enterprise. The family’s fourth generation is taking the House of Fontanini into the 21st Century. Today, the namesake of his great grandfather Emanuele, along with his brother, Stefano, have assumed the leadership roles. Founder and family patriarch Emanuele died in 1977 at the age of 97 with the House of Fontanini well established and ready for continued growth. It was fitting that the House of Fontanini would distinguish itself as the 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 the custom of 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 skills to the production of the Fontanini Heirloom Nativity Collection.
