Only the basin of this font appears to belong to the characteristic "Credo" fonts of the Zabreri workshop; it is octagonal, with the Credo inscription on its narrow sides; the underbowl chamfer is one of the plainest of the group, with only the characteristic broad leaves at the angles; the whole of the base, all three parts (one of which likely older than the basin), appears to be a puzzle of alien pieces put together with a not very satisfying result. [NB: there may be a holy-water stoup dated 1520 in this church [source: http://www.vallegrana.it/tradizioni_e_cultura_paesi.asp [accessed 2 August 2009] -- to be followed up]
