A simple slab on his grave bore the following inscription: "Qui giace la apoglia del fu Andrea Hofer, detto il Generale Barbone, commandants supremo delle milicie del Tirolo, fucillato in questa forterezza nel giorno 20 Febrajo 1810, sepolto in questo luogo."
It contains not only the "Giace Cartago," and the "appena i segni," &c., but the contrast of the pride with the mortality of man, and, above all, the "dying" of the cities, which is the finest thing in the stanza of its imitator. " Passan le signorie, passano i regni;"
His epitaph, composed by himself with the utmost care, was as follows: QUI GIACE ARRIGO BEYLE MILANESE VISSE, SCRISSE, AMO.
