Anthropomorphic holy-water basin representing an angel, perhaps the work of Bernini's disciple, Giovanni Battista Rossi. The church itself was designed by Michelangelo and, after his death in 1564, completed by his disciple Jacopo Lo Duca. [cf. Index entry for Rome No. 26 for a listed font in this church]
