To encourage [[United States|American]] goodwill, he sent several copies of the Capitoline Wolf to U.S. cities. In 1929 he sent [[Capitoline Wolf Statue, Cincinnati|one replica]] for a [[Sons of Italy]] national convention in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]]. It was switched for another one in 1931, which still stands in [[Eden Park, Cincinnati]]. Another replica was given to the city of [[Rome, Georgia]], the same year. A third copy went to [[Rome, New York]], in 1956 by Alfonso Felici, a veteran of World War II. Another ended up at North-Eastern Normal University, China, where ancient Greek and Roman history is studied.
