Christopher Columbus, Bronze sculpture at Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis, US.
The bronze bust of Christopher Columbus stands on a granite pedestal measuring 82 inches in height at the Indiana Statehouse southwest corner.
Italian immigrants in Indiana commissioned artist Enrico Vittori to create this sculpture, which was installed on the Statehouse grounds in 1920.
The sculpture represents the artist's interpretation of Italian heritage through the depiction of Columbus in period costume with chin-length hair.
Visitors can find the sculpture on the southwest corner of the Indiana Statehouse lawn, accessible during regular operating hours.
The granite pedestal features a plaque with text about Columbus's discovery of America and references to Italian cultural contributions.
