In 2015, The Enquirer wrote a story highlighting the fact that a statue in Eden Park was actually a gift to Cincinnati from Benito Mussolini. Yes, the Italian dictator. That story was posted to Cincinnati.com nearly five years ago and when it was tweeted out by a local reporter Monday, Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach responded with a tweet of his own.
It's time for it to be moved, Seelbach said. Maybe to a museum, he added. He said he was drafting a motion to have it removed from the park. "Statues from the monster that was Benito Mussolini don't belong in our parks," Seelbach wrote. "Museums? Maybe. But not Cincinnati parks."
