Center text loosely reads: "e dietro quelli veri li gente ch'i non avrei creduto che morte tanta n'avesse dissatta ... so many, I had not thought Death had undone so many". Possible translation: "and behind the real ones there were people whom I would not have believed that death had so destroyed us ... so many, I had not thought Death had undone so many". Text is an excerpt from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land.
