Handcast Statuary.  
In 1916, Tuscan artisans founded Florence Art Company in San Francisco, California. During the early 1950's, Florence Art Company was bought by New Italian Art Company, a leading San Francisco statuary manufacturer established in the 1920's. Thus, our unique name was born - a name with history, a name that today stands for selection, service, and quality! Our family-owned company has grown through the years to become one of the West Coast's premier manufacturers of quality garden statuary, handcasting a wide variety of fountains, birdbaths, containers, and assorted garden accents. The Fontana family today continues a tradition of excellence as they combine modern production technology with the European crafting techniques used when Simone Fontana first produced statues in Rome in 1676. Carrying on the spirit of the "figurinai", the dedicated artisans at Florence & New Italian Art Company are proud to produce one of the most exciting, vibrant lines of statuary on the market today.
