Coluna Capitolina, Ancient Roman memorial column in Natal, Brazil.
The Capitoline Column stands 5.80 meters tall, constructed from gray marble extracted from the ruins of Jupiter's temple in Rome.
In 1928, Italian pilots Carlo del Prete and Arturo Ferrarin completed a 49-hour non-stop flight from Rome to Natal, covering 7,158 kilometers.
The column represents the connection between Brazil and Italy, donated by the Italian government to commemorate the transatlantic flight achievement.
The monument is located in the center of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, serving as a reference point for visitors studying aviation history.
During the 1935 Communist uprising in Brazil, protesters toppled the column due to its association with the Italian government.
