Description	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.
