Michael the Boy with Flute – 50" Scale Figure
House of Fontanini – Item #52365

Michael the Boy with Flute brings a gentle sense of life, music, and movement to a large-scale Nativity display. Captured mid-melody, this beautifully sculpted figure reflects the warmth and humanity of village life surrounding the birth of Christ. His thoughtful expression and poised stance convey sincerity and youthful devotion, making him a meaningful presence within the scene.

Dressed in golden trousers and a red vest layered with a rustic shawl, Michael carries a small satchel at his side while holding his flute with delicate realism. The softly layered garments are finished in rich, earthy tones, enhanced by subtle hand-painted shading that highlights every fold and texture. From the refined facial detailing to the carefully rendered flute, this statue embodies the artistry and storytelling tradition that define Fontanini’s Italian craftsmanship.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition lives on at HouseOfFontanini.com, but its roots trace back over 100 years to Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. There, Emanuele Fontanini established his first workshop in 1908, creating a family legacy that would become world-renowned for heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Today, Fontanini statues are meticulously crafted using time-honored techniques and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational process.

For more than 25 years, HouseOfFontanini.com has proudly carried on this tradition, offering authentic Fontanini pieces through our locally owned small business. From our Minnesota warehouse, we remain dedicated to our mission:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
