How You Can Help
This monument will be funded completely through public contributions.
Just as our ancestors supported each other and their community, we ask today’s Italian-American community to celebrate their generous spirit by contributing to make this dream come true.
Contributions of $5,000 and higher will be acknowledged on a plaque that will be mounted to the pedestal that supported the former Columbus statue. All other contributions will be recognized in a memorial booklet that will feature personal stories and photos of generations of immigrant families who settled in New Haven and Wooster Square. The committee seeks wide engagement with all who wish to acknowledge their links with this important period of New Haven’s history.
