Under the bust of Galileo
Pietro Giordani
GALILEO
THAT MORE THAN EACH OTHER ENDOWED THE WORLD
WITH VERY NOBLE AND FECUND TRUTH
AND MORE THAN EACH OTHER FOR LOVE OF THE TRUTH
SUFFERED FROM THE IGNORANCE AND THE ENVY
YOUR GLORY WILL FINISH
WHEN THE MANKIND
WILL STOP TO SEE THE SUN AND TO INHABIT THE EARTH.
