need help with translating something


Recommended Posts

I am watching a flick by Fellini called The City of Women. On a wall there is a bunch of writing and I cant seem to translate it. I am going to write it down here in hopes that someone may help. If anyone can do this I would be very happy. :-)

"sante cazzonius ad gloriam foeminarum memorandam erexit atque aedificavit, anno MCMXXXV"

It sounds like a memory plate. I can't translate it properly though, but there are some things I can point out.

"Sante Cazzonius" is probably a name (saint?). "Ad gloriam" is literally "to glory" and "memorandam" obviously has something to do with remembering. "Anno MCMXXXV" in turn would be the year the remembered act took place.
