“He who loves the homeland, honors it with deeds.”
Sacred halls to virtue and to study
The Italian Workers’ Society
with that love
with which it promoted and cared for the rise of this place,
on this marble
has inscribed for you
the golden maxim by which it is ennobled.
A reminder of itself to you
it has engraved,
and you—engrave it in your hearts.
Constantinople, January 1, 1901
