A beautiful Chini-style baptismal font is preserved inside the church of San Bartolomeo in Molezzano. The ceramic baptismal basin coated with a noble dark glaze is made from one of the flower pots designed by Galileo Chini for the Berzieri baths in Salsomaggiore in the early twenties; it follows the practice of the furnaces to convert the various furnishings in the production catalog to different uses. As is known, this is an example of the production mold of the factory, a method that became necessary to complete the challenging thermal commission. The panel placed on the wall of the small room, composed of small painted polychrome majolica tiles, depicts the Baptist.<\/span><\/p>
