Statue of Christopher Columbus, Marble statue in North End, Boston, United States.
The white marble sculpture stands on a granite pedestal in Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park, measuring approximately fifteen feet in height.
The statue was commissioned by Arthur Stivaletta and installed during a ceremony on October 21, 1979, attended by Mayor Kevin White and former governor John Volpe.
The monument includes inscriptions of prominent Italian American families from North End, representing the neighborhood's strong Italian heritage.
The statue underwent multiple repairs due to vandalism incidents, including decapitation in 2006 and 2020, leading to its removal from the original location.
The sculpture, carved by artisans in Carrara, Italy, will be relocated to a new development by the Knights of Columbus on North Margin Street.
