Inscription(s)

al conte CESARE SARDI
per le opere dell'ingegno onorato
per quelle del cuore rimpianto
la confraternita di misericordia
questo ricordo pose
tra l'universale consenso
nel primo anniversario della sua morte
il xxiisettembre
mcmxxv

breve trascorre la vita ma restano le opere eterne
nella memoria degli uomini nel cospetto di dio
