Figurines of President Barack Obama are appearing in Nativity scenes in shops in Naples, Italy for the Christmas season.

 

Craftsman Marco Ferrigno told Reuters on Nov. 7 that Obama’s reelection sparked the production.

 

"Every time a major event occurs we create a new figurine, and today after Obama's victory, we have made a new figurine of Obama and will put him in our ideal Nativity scene,” Ferrigno said.

 

Reuters reported that the shop keepers said bargain hunters could get a “big discount” on figurines of GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

 

Italian fans of Obama said his likeness in the nativity scenes is a portrayal of how important his role is in today's world, according to Reuters.
