Chicagoans can vote through Sunday to pick a notable Italian to be honored with a statue in Little Italy’s Arrigo Park, where a statue of Christopher Columbus once stood.
Eight notable Italian Americans are finalists in a little-advertised contest for the honor: Amerigo Vespucci, Antonin Scalia, Enrico Fermi, Florence Scala, Maria Montessori, Frances Xavier Cabrini, Phillip Mazzei, Renato Dulbecco. Ballots can be cast here.
