A statue of Aristides is installed in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, within Louisburg Square, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.^[1] The 6-foot (1.8 m) sculpture was imported from Italy in 1834 by Joseph Iasigi, then Turkish consul, who lived at 3 Louisburg Sq. When the other proprietors of the Square were reluctant to accept the statue, he sweetened his offer with a statue of Christopher Columbus for the north end of its park.^[2]^[3]^[4]
