"Qui a 26 Ottobre 1816 nasceva CESARE BRAICO, olocausto giurato alla libertà della patria sopportò prigionie, esilii, condanne di morte finche' da Marsala schierato fra mille eroi, DUCE GARIBALDI alla ricalcitante Europa impose l'indipendenza d'Italia. La società dei reduci pose a 9 Febbraio MDCCCXCIII."
