near the west side at 67th Street is this bronze portrait bust of Itailian
patriot Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872). Trained as a lawyer, he worked for
the unification of Italy during the mid-19th century, organizing uprisings
and influencing political opinion even while in exile from the country. |

American journalist and political leader. He moved to New York City in 1831
and founded the New York Tribune in 1841 acting as its editor for 31 years.
The Tribune was a large success. Greeley was also known for his stance on
anti-slavery. |
