Want to guess what it is?A baptismal font surrounded by phallic symbols?
No it's a pulpit...and alas, it's located in one of the loveliest churches of Christendom.
The Cranky Professor notes:
This pulpit at the front of the cathedral in Pisa may be the worst piece of 20th century religious art I've ever seen - and I've seen some doozies!... To make matters worse, it's within yards of one of the lovelier pulpits, by Giovanni Pisano from around 1300. .. What were they thinking? Oh, well - it looks like it will be easy to remove, someday.
This site has more photos of the church...and for obvious reasons, the new pulpit isn't included in their photos, perhaps because it's an art website.
