For decades, an ancient Roman column given to Chicago by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini has stood in Chicago’s Grant Park, but this week, the discussion of its merits and what to do with it has moved from social media and into the Chicago City Council.

This morning, the Chicago Sun-Times published a story which indicates that 14th Ward Alderman Ed Burke and 36th Ward Alderman Gilbert Villegas are preparing for a formal push to have the Balbo Monument removed from Grant Park.
