History This nativity set was given to me by my mother who received it as a gift from my father 30 years ago. He purchased it and then hand painted the sculptures and built the stable.
Gino Ruggeri, one of the most well known sculptors in Italy, worked many years for Tito Bianchi in Bianchi's Factory in Tuscany Italy. In 1987 Tito Bianchi sold his factory to the Santini Family. Santini now owns the rights to most of Gino Ruggeri's works.
