In 1926, Hartford’s Italian American citizens dedicated a large statue to Christopher Columbus.
It’s an 8′ tall bronze sculpture that stands on a ten foot tall granite base. Columbus is standing on a globe of the world, with ocean waves carved into the base of the statue. He is holding a stack of maps or charts.
The inscription on the base reads:
COLVMBVS
Presented
To The City Of Hartford
By Its
Italian-​American
Citizens
Dedicated
October 12, 1926
I found a pretty funny story about the statue that has to do with its location, which is very close to the statue of General Lafayette on a horse. Turns out that Columbus is facing the Southbound end of Lafayette’s Northbound horse, and that created a bit of a controversy back in the day. You’ll be pleased to know that the controversy was short-​lived and Columbus’s statue remains where it was originally placed.
