Talia the Young Villager – 50" Scale

House of Fontanini – Item #52369

Talia the Young Villager beautifully captures the spirit of generosity and joyful offering within the Nativity story. Portrayed carrying a woven basket overflowing with fruits and vegetables, Talia symbolizes the simple gifts of daily life brought forward in devotion. Her gently bowed head, serene expression, and graceful posture reflect humility, gratitude, and reverence.

Every detail—from the lifelike textures of her garments to the carefully sculpted harvest in her basket—showcases the renowned artistry of Fontanini’s Italian craftsmen. Hand painted in rich, natural tones, this impressive 50" scale figure adds warmth, authenticity, and visual elegance to large-scale Nativity displays in churches, institutions, and spacious home settings.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition lives on at HouseOfFontanini.com, but its roots began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop, laying the foundation for what would become a world-renowned family legacy of heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Each piece reflects a meticulous, multi-generational process of sculpting, molding, and hand painting.

Today, HouseOfFontanini.com proudly continues this tradition through retail and e-commerce sales direct to collectors and churches alike. For over 25 years, we have remained a locally owned small business dedicated not only to selling Fontanini—but loving it too. From our Minnesota warehouse, we live our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
