Italian text

 
 Qvest'e l'eccelsa et gloriosa Torre,
  Cui sotto l'ombra, e un si tranquillo stato
  Ch'ognun allegr'a riposar ui corre.
  Per viver piu felic'e piu beato.
  Ne' contra se gli puo fortun' opporte
  Tant'e ben riguardata'in ogni lato,
  Consomm'ardir, e con altiera vista
  Dal magnanimo conte Gioan Batista.

English translation

This is the exquisite and glorious Tower,
  in whos shadows tranquillity reins.
  Everyone is happy to rest here by these streams,
  to live here most happily and most blessedly.
  It is not set against those who brings wealth
  but guards to all sides
  in ardourous wathfullnes under the high overview
  of the magnanimous Count Gioan Batista.
