Statue of Christopher Columbus, Bronze monument in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
The statue shows Columbus in formal attire with a rolled document in hand, standing 22 feet tall on a square stone foundation.
Created by Edoardo Alfieri, the statue arrived from Italy aboard the SS Cristoforo Colombo and was installed at Columbus City Hall in 1955.
The monument represents different meanings, from Italian-American heritage celebration to discussions about historical representation in public spaces across the United States.
The statue was removed in July 2020 following public demonstrations, with the original location now empty pending new artistic installations.
During maintenance work in 1979, workers discovered a time capsule under the base containing historical items including transport documentation.
