Fontanani Figures

I just found out this evening that the nativity figures my friend gave me that are stamped Depose Italy were made by a person named Fontanini.  He has made many nativity sets and the sets can be individualized by the buyer picking and choosing the figures he wants.

I may be able to buy some sheep, and also shepherds and Joseph.  I love doing research and I was really happy to find this information on Goggle earlier this evening.

But I couldn't find anything about Fontanani and how he makes these figures.  I'll keep trying.  It's fun to learn.

    I think I've seen those in the same stores that carry all the different "Department 56" Christmas villages and stuff.

    I'll certainly be looking for them now. This is such fun! I may not buy, but I'll look for them.
