This year is the 120th Anniversary of the dedication of the
Columbus Monument and Piazza in Pueblo, Colorado,
and is the first and
one of very few, if any, remaining west
of the Missisppi. It is a registered National Historical Monument with the Department of the Interiror and under its protective oversight; and was gifted to the City of Pueblo in 1905 by the immigrant community made up of a large Italian contingent and immigrants from western Europe, Central America, South America, and Asia; and remains a symbol of thanks and respect for being able to live in this United States of America. The Monument was paid for in cash, at a cost of ten thousand dollars, and took the organizers nearly ten years to collect and save that amount from the citizenry across the Nation, which is equivalent to more the $290,000 in today's dollars. The City of Pueblo maintains the grounds and street rights-of-way for the Monument, and the initial charter for the Sons of Italy Lodge No: 2738 included a commitment to protect the Monument Piazza for the enjoyment of all. The stone work for the Monument was crafted by Italian stone masons from Italy and the bust was cast as one piece in Bronze and it is heavy! See more street level views by clicking here: 100 E.
