Furthermore, Balbo was an outspoken critic of Adolph Hitler and stood steadfast against antisemitism. The removal of this statute is a sleight against Italian-Americans and their community. History should not be sacrificed to an altar of hysteria!

Balbo popularized aviation in Italy, and promoted Italian aviation to the world. A staunch anti-Marxist, Balbo broke strikes for local landowners and attacked communists and socialists in Portomaggiore, Ravenna, Modena, and Bologna.

Statues do not evoke anything, they are mute, only people are dumb enough to think they have emotional content. It is also a crime against the original artist to tear them down, and therefore artistically and culturally intolerant. Tearing down statues does not lesson prejudice, it reinforces it.

Italo Balbo was a great man and an important personality.
