Baptismal font of a composite natura topped by a singular metal cover; the basin itself appears hemispherical and has a band or ornamentation on its sides; the base is of a later date and plain. The most striking feature of this font appears to be the lid: it covers the upper part of the basin and appaers to be made of metal squares fitted or welded together; each square is painted with bright colours and bears a cross [We are grateful to Giorgio Zanetti, of Toronto, Canada, for bringing this font to our attention, and to Luca Giordani, of Bologna, Italy [www.studiogiove.org], for his image of the same]
