Give your Fontanini village a bustling marketplace detail with Lorenzo, the cheese peddler. Designed for a 5-inch scale display, Lorenzo is shown carrying a basket of cheese while holding up another piece in his hand. His hat, vest, blue trousers, and market goods are finished with the detailed hand-painted character associated with Fontanini figurines.
Made from durable polymer, Lorenzo fits naturally among merchants, villagers, buildings, and other coordinating figures. Place him in a market area, along a village pathway, or near the Nativity to create a fuller scene of everyday village life.
About Fontanini
Fontanini is one of the most well-known companies that produces Nativity Sets and figurines. Their charming Nativity sets and figurines are known to be extremely detailed and almost life-like as each piece is hand-painted. They are also known to be incredibly durable, which means that children can play with them with out fear of damage. Emmanuele Fontanini, a trained Italian artisan, opened the doors to his first shop back in 1908. Since then the company has remained in the family’s hands. Fontanini, the company, has always been in control of the family, with each generation having its turn to lead the company. It’s now run by Emmanuele’s great-grandchildren. Though they are not artisans, they still oversee the tiniest details of each figurine and set-piece through production.
