The film begins with the label "The Monument to Christopher Columbus" and has a subtitle that completes it: "Donated to the municipality of Buenos Aires by the Italian community on the occasion of the first centenary of Argentine independence." The film records multiple events, over a little over a year, “from the arrival of the various parts of the monument, and the construction of the base, to the erection of the statue.” The first images are dated May 1920 and The last ones correspond to the day of the inauguration of the monument, June 15, 1921. During that period the film documents the arrival at the port of the monument in the hold of the ship “Olimpo” until its inauguration with the presence of President Hipólito Yrigoyen.
