You can see this old stone baptismal font inside the Basilica San Marco. The large basin has two bronze covers and a type of tabernacle crowned by the lamb of God.
An information board in front of the baptistery reads:
"Presso questo fonte battesimale, il 2 ottobre 1789, haricevuto il S. Battesimo la Serva di Dio Sr. Maria Teresa Spinelli (1789 - 1850). Nata il 1 ottobre 1789 di fronte a questa chiesa, in Via Pedacchia, una delle vie rase poi al suolo per far posto al Vittoriano, il 23 settembre 1827 fondò a Frosinone le Suore Agostiniane Serve di Gesù e Maria. Il suo processo di Beatificazione è in corso presso la Congregazione delle Cause dei Santi."
