[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what would you replace them with and how would you handle telling Italian Americans that their heroes and their people no longer matter?[/quote] But Columbus isn't a hero to Italian-Americans, and neither is Braxton Bragg to Southerners. Here's an idea, how about abstract monumets instead?[/quote] https://www.columbuscitizensfd.org/about-us/welcome.html They might disagree. [/quote] 600 people, wow, such a groundswell. Garibaldi is an Italian hero. Michaelangelo, Dante, Andrea Pirlo, Pavarotti,... those are Italian heroes. Not a second rate guy from Genoa who worked for Spain before Italian unification. Columbus was only chosen because of his tenuous link to America. For that matter Amerigo Vespucci would have been a better choice. Nowadays there are a lot of actual Italian-Americans that would be a better symbol.[/quote]
