CORINTHIAN COLUMN
Columns and statues to see
Read moreBrazil, unlike its Andean neighbours, has few old stone monuments carved by human hands. The oldest monument in the country is a Corinthian column that is said to come from the Capitol of Rome, donated by Mussolini in 1928 to commemorate the flight of two Italians, Carlo del Prete and Arturo Ferrarin, on board the Savoia, which linked Rome to Natal without a stopover. On July 5, 1928, these pilots reached the coast of Potiguar from Rome, after a non-stop flight of more than 49 hours, covering a distance of more than 7,000 kilometers.
