Angiol d’Or
Angiol d’Or is a gilt sheet metal statue from around 1350 that depicts the Archangel Raphael standing with his wings spread out, dressed in a draping robe. It is one of the artistic symbols of Parma. We do not know the name of its author, but the artist certainly knew the sculptures of the great Antelami and had admired the many angels present in his work. This is the original version of the sheet metal statue, which until 1960 stood on top of the Cathedral bell tower and also served as an anemometer.

The baptismal font
The baptismal font, dating to around 1350, is a faithful copy of the font in the Romanesque church of Vicofertile, a village on the outskirts of Parma.

Bazennia Cleonide’s slab
The slab dedicated to Bazennia Cleonide, from Roman times, is notable for its inscription, in which terms and sentiments typical of both pagan and Christian religiosity coexist. The inscription reads: “To the Mani gods. To Bazennia Cleonide, most pious mother and to Secunda, most loving sister and to dearest daughter Virria Faustina, who lived sixteen years and eighteen days, she rests here with her grandmother and maternal aunt, Mesia Claudiane with her family laid this stone in her memory”
