Mariano Comense - Battistero di San Giovanni Battista

Mariano Comense - Battistero di San Giovanni Battista
The Baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is located next to the church of Santo Stefano. The baptistery is a quadrangular building with apses, having an octagonal dome. It dates to the early 11th century.

I could see the interior of the baptistery, as a very friendly sacristan unlocked the door. Grazie mille!

The baptismal font, seen here, was found during recent excavations.

Practised here was probably baptism by immersion, similar to the what Pietists (eg "Schwarzenau Brethren") later did again.
