About Fontanini® Heirloom Nativity

The story of Roman, Inc. is the story of Ron Jedlinski. His current enterprise began in 1963 with $500 and an old station wagon full of inspirational products. With a family background in retailing... his father operated Roman's Art and Gift Shop... it was nearly inevitable that Jedlinski would enter the giftware field. With an office behind his father's store, Jedlinski christened his company Roman's Religious Goods in honor of the father who had given his blessing to the venture. He quickly carved his niche in the religious articles and giftware marketplace, expanding into Christmas, wedding, anniversary, baby. christening and retirement giftware and accessories.
