The Ohio Statehouse is a National Historic Landmark here in the Capital City of Ohio, Columbus. On the grounds of the Statehouse, you’ll find a monument/statue of Christopher Columbus who is the namesake of Ohio’s capital city. Unbeknownst to me, and not so common is the existence of another famed Italian.
One day, while walking just west of the Ohio Statehouse, next to Columbus’ city hall, I noticed the name on a street sign and said to myself, “could it be named after that famous Italian person I’m thinking of?” After some research, indeed the street called “Marconi Boulevard” is named after the famed Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi known for developing the radio.
