Decoration	The inscription is integrated into the baptismal font, which is embedded in the northern side wall of the church. The stone container for the baptismal water is prominently highlighted in a semi-circular shape. Below the container is a head of an angel with wings, supporting the container, and above it is a shallow niche. At the bottom of the niche, there is an inscription carved in a rectangular field, with the letters painted in black. Above the inscription are wooden doors with a gilded trim, depicting the scene of Christ's baptism. At the top of the niche, the motif of the angel's head is repeated. Above it, there is a multi-profiled cornice, and in the center above the cornice is the family coat of arms (three dolphins in a circle) of the podestà Serena Sereni. The upper, vertical part of the baptismal font is adorned with colorful marble cladding. On the sides and at the top, the font is decorated with reliefs of vegetal motifs that form volutes.
