Font Notes:
"La chiesa di S. Giacomo e S. Filippo conserva all'interno il fonte battesimale del '300." [source: http://www.vallevaraita.cn.it/ita/verzuolo.asp [accessed 3 August 2009]]. "fonte battesimale in marmo della fine del XIV secolo" [source: http://www.comune.verzuolo.cn.it/parrsfilippo.htm [accessed 3 August 2009]]. The octagonal basin has an inscription of the beginning of the Credo text on the sides, over two lines, that appears to read top to bottom on each side before continuing on the next side; moulded underbowl chamfer; round stem with prominent centre ring decorated with geometrical motifs; moulded round-to-octagonal lower base with serrated sides. It appears to be a crude work by a local mason.
