The baptismal font at this church is described as two (?) re-used capitals, mounted one on the other, both probably from the ruins of the old Benedictine abbey that collapsed in the 15th century [source: 'L'art roman dans la province de Modène' (extrait du volume: P. Belloi - E. Colombini 'Itinerario romanico illustrato' (Modena, 1999)), in www.colombinieditore.it] [cf. Index entry for Frassinoro No. 2 for a stoup [or stoups] of the same origin in this church]
