Inscription.
One of the most influential composers of all time, Giuseppe Verdi's (1813-1901) music continues to be popular worldwide. Verdi's works span several periods of 19th century Italian music. This limestone pedestal features three of the composer's greatest operas, Rigoletto (1851), La Traviata (1853), and his masterpiece Aida (1871).

A gift of the Italian Colony of Philadelphia in 1907, this was the second monument given by Italian-Americans to the City. The first was the Columbus monument, located at Marconi Plaza in South Philadelphia.
