> The separate baptistry remains in Italian cathedrals. The Lateran's > survives. Also those in Siena, Parma, Pisa & Florence. > Tom Izbicki > May I add Ravenna (6th century, called the Neonian baptistery by the bishop who built it; just for curiosity, it may be added the Arian Baptistery, build probably bt Theodoric), or Cremona? Treviso? Padova? Bergamo? Chiavenna? For Tuscany (just like Florence & Co.) there are also separated baptisteries at Pistoia and Volterra. To a more attentive consultation, this habit is restrained to the Northern Italy. Why this custom was not developed to the South of Rome? Serban Marin, Bucharest, Romania, [log in to unmask]
