As it can be read on the side of the bust, it was sculpted by Giovanni Dupré in 1869 in Florence.

On the basament, there is an almost illegible inscription in Italian: "CARLO MATTEUCCI / FISICO FORLIVESE / …illegible…. / NON CHIESE ALLA MATERIA / LE RAGIONI DELLO [SPIRITO?] / MA NELLE SCIENZE CERCANDO LA GLORIA / TROVO' IN ESSE DIO".
