Fontanini figurines in Rome to buy?

Hi Robin,

I may be late with my suggestions...

You will probably find the pieces in your Italy travels but in case you do not...

(I don't see what state you live in) there is a store in North Conway, New Hampshire that stocks all the Fontanini main Nativity pieces as well as some extras - Shepherd boy, lamb, angel, etc. Sometimes they have the wise men also.
There is a special room with those Nativity pieces...authentic, made in Italy... As well as other Nativity pieces produced by different manufacturers.

(You could give them a call to find out what they have. I think they still ship merch.) Their stores get a lot of visitors.

I have all the main pieces for this Nativity and they are really lovely... Sometimes you have to look closely at the painting of the faces. The baby Jesus is my favorite.

They have a "sister store" in Woodstock New Hampshire which also has some pieces.

I've also seen various (sizes) Fontanini Nativity one piece sets with creche at Home Goods and TJ Maxx stores. Those are just as lovely since they are the same Fontanini brand.
I have a couple of different sizes.

Here is the link to the Christmas Loft

Have fun in Italy.

P.S. I don't know how much the Fontanini pieces would be in Italy; maybe less expensive.
The Christmas Loft is a large gift store so items can be a little bit on the higher side. But, the Fontanini (whole) Nativity I have seen and bought at Home Goods range from $7.99 to $24.99 depending on size and number of pieces.

Also in Rome, there are a lot of religious gift stores near the Vatican and in around St. Peter's Square.

Perhaps not as much fun as shopping in Rome....., but figurines galore
