"A sinistra dell’ingresso trovamo un’acquasantiera realizzata riutilizzando un capitello rovesciato del I secolo d. C.; a destra, una seconda acquasantiera ricavata in un’ara funeraria romana. Poco più avanti è il fonte battesimale del XVI secolo" [source: http://www.umbria2000.it/?IDCont=223316] [accessed 14 July 2007]
