James Nevius, co-author of Inside the
Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City, on Sunday, October 9, at
3:30 PM, for a walk celebrating Columbus Day and the importance of
Italian-Americans in New York’s history. There’s no better place to do that
than Central Park, which has some remarkable connections to Italian history.
We will talk about the four (that’s right four)
different Columbus memorials once slated for Central Park, visit the bust of
Giuseppe Mazzini, explore the history of the Mall and Terrace, and more.
(We’ll also be looking at things in Central Park that have nothing to do with
Columbus.) Copies
of Inside the Apple will be
available for purchase at the tour. è
