Polish celebration in Padua

A ceremony was held in the ancient University of Padua to present to the University authorities a marble bust of Chancellor Jan Zamoyski, who had attended the University. The bust is made of white marble, of supernatural size, and was made by the excellent Polish sculptor Antoni Madeyski, who lives permanently in Rome.

The ceremony of the handing over of the bust was attended by a representative of the Italian government, Professor Maver, a well-known Italian Slavist, the Ambassador of the Republic to the Quirinal, the maker of the bust, Master Madeyski, and Count Maurycy Zamoyski, who contributed generously to the founding of this memento, which shows how old cultural links exist between Italy and Poland.
