Two Early-Christian baptismal fonts reported discovered ca. 1982 about 15 km from the centre of the ancient city of Paestum, distant six km between the two. One of them is in the shape of a Greek cross and found in a 7th century church. [source uncertain; appears to be a round table chaired by Paolo Delogu and the person reporting the find is probably Paolo Peduto -- report at http://archeologiamedievale.unisi.it/NewPages/COLLANE/TESTIQDS/montarrenti/16.pdf , p. 8, of what appears to be a session at the Colloquio internazionale sullo scavo archeologico di Montarrenti]
