Baptismal font

This baptismal font is a contemporary interpretation of one of the deepest symbols of tradition: water, an element of life, rebirth, and purification. It is a work that combines spirituality, material and artistic research, transforming terracotta into a timeless and essential language of expression.

The work was created in collaboration with the artist Samuel Rosi and is currently displayed in Siena, at the Contemporary Museum of the “ Contrada del Nicchio”, a space that enhances the dialogue among art, territory, and cultural identity.

The font is shaped with Galestro Colorobbia clay, in shades of red and gray, a kind of material that expresses the full strength of the Tuscan earth. The surfaces enhance the chromatic contrast and the simplicity of the type of clay, making each piece unique.

This creation represents the meeting between handcrafted tradition and contemporary vision, an object of great symbolic and artistic value, conceived not only as a liturgical symbol but also as a work capable of telling a story of water, earth, and spirituality.
