Italo-Americans in Rhode Island still proud of the Marconi monument in Roger Williams Park

Italo -Americans in Providence can be just as proud of their Marconi monument in Roger Williams Park as their Christopher Columbus statue - rudely removed - from the Elmwood neighborhood in Providence. [ "Carved from Westerly granite, the Marconi Memorial was a gift from the Italian-American community to Roger Williams Park. It took 16 years of planning, fundraising, and design from the date of Marconi’s death before this monument became a reality."] Image: File:Marconi Memorial, Roger Williams Park, Providence, Rhode ...
