96th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
To authorize and request the President to issue a proclamation designating Septem-
ber 18,1980, as "Constantino Brumidi Day". 
Whereas Constantino Brumidi, born in Rome, Italy, on July 26, 
1805, landed at New York Harbor on September 18, 1852, as a 
political exile, making his flight from Italy to the United States 
because of his love for libertj^; and 
Whereas Brumidi's love for his adopted country led him to seek 
citizenship two years after his arrival; and 
Whereas the artist's love for liberty joined his love for art and his 
love of country as he spent the last twenty-five years of his life 
embellishing the United States Capitol, including the corridors of 
the Senate wing, the formal offices of the President and the Vice 
President, the Senate reception room, the present House and 
Senate Appropriations Committee rooms, and the rotunda; and 
Whereas in 1877, at the age of seventy-two, Brumidi began his last 
work, the fresco frieze encircling the top of the rotunda, and fell 
from a slipped scaffolding three years later while attempting to 
complete part of the work, and though not injured, suffered a 
shock so great that he was never able to return to work; and 
Whereas Brumidi died as a result of this experience three months 
later in February 1880; and 
Whereas the Congress recognizes the artist's devotion and talent 
which earned him the nickname of the "Michelangelo of the Cap-
itol of the United States"; and 
Whereas the year 1980 marks the one hundred and seventy-fifth 
anniversary of the birth, and the one hundredth anniversary of 
the death of Constantino Brumidi: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President 
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating 
September 18,1980, as "Constantino Brumidi Day" and calling upon 
the people of the United States, State and local government agencies, 
and interested organizations to observe that week with appropriate 
ceremonies, activities, and programs.
