This bill aims to commemorate the contributions of Italian immigrants to Minnesota by establishing a commemorative work on the State Capitol grounds in honor of the first recorded Italian immigrant to the state. The Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board is tasked with overseeing the commissioning and installation of this work, which will involve a public call for artists and input from historians and Italian-American cultural organizations to guide the design process. The design and site selection phases are required to be completed by December 31, 2026, with the installation phase to be finished by December 31, 2027, followed by an official dedication ceremony.

Additionally, the bill includes appropriations from the general fund for the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board and the Department of Administration, each receiving funds in fiscal year 2026, which will be available until June 30, 2028. The act is set to take effect the day after its final enactment.
