Italian outdoor nativity scene : the shepherd.
If you’re creating an outdoor nativity scene the 50” shepherd is a must-have.
This is a particularly appropriate set to buy if you have any Italian heritage, or if, like us, you love Italy and want to incorporate Italian traditions in your Christmas celebrations.
Made by the famous Fontanini company in a small village in northern Italy, the shepherd is one of the range of large, hand-painted statues built from a mix of marble and resin and therefore resilient to all but extreme winter conditions.
Although there are other shepherd models, this is a particularly attractive version as it includes a tiny lamb cradled in the young boy's arms.
These Italian models are not cheap but will last for generations, so investing in them year on year is actually investing in your family’s future.
