Inscription(s)

in questa torre vetusta e gloriosa
l'anno 1814
LUIGIA UTTINI VERDI
scampava il suo piccolo beppino
dalle orde sanguinarie
di russia e di austria
devastanti questa fertile plaga
e conservava
all'arte un arcangelo sublime
all'auspicata redenzione d'italia
un bardo potente
alla terra di roncole
una fulgida gloria imperitura
un secolo dopo
il prevosto don remigio zardi
l'opera parrocchiale
e il circolo popolare cattolico
commemorando la fausta data
come ricordo
questo marmo posero

c.s.b.

In this glorious and ancient tower,
the year 1814,
Luigia Uttini Verdi
rescued her little son Beppino
from the Russian and Austrian
hordes
who were devastating this fertile plain,
and preserved
for Art, a sublime Archangel
for the most wished for redemption of Italy,
a powerful bard,
to the earth of Le Roncole
a shining everlasting glory.
A century later,
the Parish Priest Don Remigio Zardi,
the Parish Committee,
and the People's Catholic Circle
commemorating this auspicious date
as a reminder
placed this marble.
