Inscription: To Christopher Columbus, The Italians resident in America, Scoffed at before, during the voyage, Menaced, after it, Chained, as Generous as Oppressed, to the World he gave a World. Joy and Glory, Never uttered a more thrilling call than that which resounded from the conquered ocean, In sight of the First American Island, Land! Land! On the XII of October MDCCCXCII, (October 12, 1892) The fourth centenary, Of the Discovery of America. In Imperishable Remembrance.
