A baptismal font in this church is mentioned, without details in an article by Carlo Martinelli in the 25 Match 2013 edition of the Sardianian Post [www.sardiniapost.it/cronaca/iglesias-la-guerra-della-cattedrale-divampa-su-facebook/] [accessed 18 November 2015]: "per adeguare arredi, l’ambone, la fonte battesimale e il tabernacolo", among the liturgical objects targeted for restoration/renovation. The entry for this church in BeWeB [www.beweb.chiesacattolica.it/cathedrals/cathedral/601/Chiesa+di+Santa+Chiara+d'Assisi] [accessed 18 November 2015] notes: "Il fonte battesimale è mobile ed all’occorrenza viene posizionato in prossimità del presbiterio", which appears to indicate such a mobile font should be portable and modern.
