Savio, the Boy Shepherd – Fontanini® 5" Collection

House of Fontanini — Item #54127

Bring youthful wonder and heartfelt storytelling to your Nativity display with Savio, the Boy Shepherd, a charming addition to the beloved Fontanini® 5" Collection. With staff in hand and an open, welcoming posture, Savio represents the innocence and awe of the young shepherds who first heard the angel’s message announcing the birth of Christ.

Dressed in a light blue shirt beneath a warm orange tunic with a white sash, Savio stands barefoot on a grassy base—capturing the humble simplicity of shepherd life in the hills surrounding Bethlehem. His joyful stance and youthful expression add warmth and life to your Nativity scene, reminding us of the excitement and faith of those who were first to seek the newborn King.

Beautifully handcrafted and hand-painted in Tuscany, Italy, Savio is sculpted from durable, child-safe polymer and finished by skilled artisans in the multi-generational Fontanini tradition. Introduced in 2024, this figure is destined to become a cherished part of your growing Nativity collection.

Savio pairs wonderfully with Silas the Shepherd, Gabriel the Shepherd, The Goat Family, The Shepherd’s Tent, and Japheth (his brother)—allowing collectors to expand the shepherd scene and bring greater depth and storytelling to their display.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition continues today at House of Fontanini, but its story began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany. In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop, beginning a family legacy that would grow into one of the world’s most respected creators of heirloom Nativity figures. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted through a family-guided artisan process that has been passed down for generations.

For over 25 years, House of Fontanini has proudly carried this tradition forward as a locally owned small business, offering authentic Fontanini pieces through both retail and e-commerce. From our Minnesota warehouse, we live by our mission:

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

Whether you are adding to a treasured collection or starting a new Nativity tradition, Savio brings joy, innocence, and timeless beauty to the story of Christmas. Shop Fontanini and discover special finds in our Fontanini outlet at House of Fontanini.
