A photograph of the boulder dedicated to Balbo and a rollover image of the plaque set into it.

Dedicated on October 12, the 441st anniversery of the discovery of America by Christoper Columbus, in commemoration of the successful flight of General Italo Balbo and his air armada from Italy to America and return, appropriately named the modern Columbus.

The tablet, with the above inscription, marked the 1933 flight by Balbo from Rome to Chicago and back.
