Bellevue Beach Park or Thomas J. Wiethorn Bellevue Beach Park is a small urban park located in Bellevue, Kentucky, along the Ohio River bank. It faces Mount Adams and Downtown Cincinnati. It was once the site of the Queen City Bathing Beach, one of the largest inland beach resorts of the early 20th century. It has operated under other names, including Riviera Beach and Horseshoe Gardens before the resort was destroyed in the Ohio River Flood of 1937. The modern park is owned and maintained by the City of Bellevue and was developed between 1993 and 2000.

Capitoline Wolf Statue, Cincinnati
Capitoline Wolf Statue, Cincinnati

The Capitoline Wolf Statue is a sculpture of a she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The bronze sculpture on a granite and marble base is located in Eden Park at the Twin Lakes area overlooking the Ohio River. It is an exact replica of the original Capitoline Wolf in the Musei Capitolini of Rome, Italy.Italian dictator Benito Mussolini sent a small version of the statue for a 1929 Sons of Italy national convention in Cincinnati. It was replaced by a larger one in 1931, which is the version that still stands in Eden Park. The sculpture was meant to honor Cincinnatus, the namesake of Cincinnati. It is inscribed with the Latin Anno X (year ten), indicating 1931, the tenth year of Mussolini's regime.On January 6, 2020, Cincinnati City Council member Chris Seelbach tweeted that he wants the statue to be removed. Seelbach stated "Statues from the monster that was Benito Mussolini don’t belong in our parks. Museums? Maybe. But not Cincinnati Parks. I’m drafting legislation tomorrow to have the statue permanently removed." Shortly afterwards, Seelbach indefinitely delayed his plans to have the statue removed, saying "There’s been a lot of feedback about removing the statue from Eden Park. Instead of introducing legislation today to remove it, I’ll continue to listen and have conversations with all interested parties before making any formal decisions on its potential future."
