INFORMATION

FontID: 15073PIA
Church/Chapel: Chiesa parrocchiale di S. Giovanni [originally from the Chiesa di S. Sebastiano]
Country Name: Italy
Location: Cuneo, Piemonte
Font Location in Church: Inside the church
Date: 1450
Century and Period: 15th century (mid), Gothic
Workshop/Group/Artisan: Workshop of the Zabreri di Pagliero / Credo font
Cognate Fonts: the font and cover at Pagliero, from the same workshop
Credit and Acknowledgements: We are gratefult to Don Roberto Mastacchi for the photograph of this font
The baptismal font bears the beginning of the Credo text and the date "mcccl" on its narrow sides; the underbowl chamfer is decorated with the characteristic leaves and scallops of the Zabreri fonts, as well as charged shields and emblems (one of them "IHS"); the base is a moulded round pedestal with the characteristic octagonal centre ring, decorated with letters; the splaying lower base is round, with scallops and charged shields on its top surface, but it appears to be a modern replacement. The wooden cover is of the rim-buffet type, like Pagliero's font, which this one resembles.
