Italian nativity : outdoor figures - donkey.

The donkey has long held a favoured place in Italian culture and folklore. One of the most popular Italian songs at Christmas is, after all, Dominick the Italian Christmas donkey!



So it’s not surprising that Fontanini choose to pay particular homage to the Christmas nativity outdoor donkey by creating such a lifelike creature with the most appealing donkey-face.



One of the Fontanini 50” outdoor nativity set, the donkey is made of a marble / resin mix which makes it particularly durable and able to withstand all but the most extreme weather conditions.



Made to lie within the stable and at the feet of the Holy Family, this gorgeous donkey will add immense appeal to any outdoor Christmas scene.
