Christopher Columbus, Pioneer Park
(1957-2020, below Coit Tower, Telegraph Hill, SF)
The statue made by Vittorio di Colbertaldo (1902-1979) was placed in the park in 1957, donated by the city's Italian-American community.
In October 2019, the statue was doused in red paint, symbolizing spilt blood, as an act of protest. The restoration cost about $70,000.
On June 18, 2020, the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) removed the statue following the removal of other controversial statues.
In light of threats on social media to throw the statue off Pier 31 and into the San Francisco Bay, the SFAC has said that the statue was removed as it "doesn’t align with San Francisco’s values or our commitment to racial justice”.
