Tourists walking in Chicago through Burnham Park, just east of Soldier Field, will find “Balbo Column”, the oldest among more than one hundred statues in Chicago Parks.
The two thousand year-old Corinthian column is a gift from Italy and used to stand in Ostia, the ancient port serving Imperial Rome, to safeguard the fortunes and victories of Roman Triremes as displayed in the inscription on the Travertine marble basement. The Balbo Column is not the only honor that the city of Chicago dedicated to Italo Balbo, probably one of the best known and discussed fascist leaders. There is also a street named in honor of the famous aviator, Balbo Drive.
These honorable mentions are astonishing for Italians who are used to living in a country that erased most of the signs of the Fascist Era.
