[1] The monument was the initiative of a community commission, which held a contest to define the best project dedicated to honoring the state's Italian immigrants.

The casting of the bronze parts was in charge of Metallúrgica Abramo Eberle, with supervision by Tito Bettini, and the masonry and stone elements are the work of Silvio Toigo and José Zambon.

[3] It also names the main commendation granted by the municipality, the National Monument Medal to the Immigrant (" Medalha Monumento Nacional ao Imigrante").

Below the sculpture, a crypt was built, whose door, also in bronze, has the image of Luiz Antônio Feijó Júnior welcoming the immigrants, framed by engraved verses by Cassiano Ricardo.

[3] Over the entrance, are the following words:A NAÇÃO BRASILEIRA AO IMIGRANTE ("THE BRAZILIAN NATION TO THE IMMIGRANT")The crypt, covered in marble donated by the Italian government, was originally a museum, but as of July 2004, it was also transformed into a cultural space, receiving the name Espaço Cultural Antônio Caringi, giving way to temporary thematic exhibitions.
