Chapel of the Baptistery (Carlo Fontana)
The Chapel of the Baptistery was designed by Carlo Fontana (1638-1714). The altarpiece, which depicts the Baptism of Christ (1722), is a copy of a painting by Carlo Maratta (1625-1713) that hangs in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The gilded bronze cover of the font rests on a porphyry basin.
