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.
