But speaking of good or bad ecclesiastical acessories . . .
But speaking of good or bad ecclesiastical acessories, here's one of the the excellent confessionals at San Frediano, the university church in Pisa. The photo isn't much (sorry about that light fixture), but I do think that along with actually having times for confession having noble confessionals could only help bring people back to that sacrament! Or at least it would be more fun!
The confessionals are solid masonry set into the wall, no turning THESE into face-to-face encounter rooms!
The church itself is, like many of those in Pisa, Romanesque (click to go to flickr and see an exterior). Living in Rome, land of the Baroque make-over, lets me forget how popular Romanesque was in Italy.
