A photograph of the statue of Christopher Columbus in front of the Akron Fulton Airport. In 1988, the Council of Italian American Societies brought a proposal to the Akron City Council to move the statue from the Akron Fulton Municipal Airport to a minipark on North Hill, also known as Akron's Little Italy. Council members had been expected to approve the legislation, however, they sent the proposal back to the public service committee. The bust was donated to the city in 1935 by area Italian societies.
