Giovanni da Verrazzano Monument in Battery Park (1909) -- Celebrative monument (New York)
There was great excitement and preparation in New York City to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the arrival of the first European in what was to become New York Harbor, Henry Hudson in 1609. The editor of Il Progresso Italo-Americano, Carlo Barsotti, created a campaign to raise funds for the construction of a magnificent bronze statue in honor of Verrazzano. The famous Italian Sculptor Ettore Ximenes (1855–1926) designed the monument. It was placed in Battery Park New York and dedicated on October 9, 1909, amidst the Henry Hudson celebrations
