Christopher Columbus
Son of Domenico Colombo and Susanna Fontanarossa Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa, Italy. He began sailing as a teenager participating in several trading voyages in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas so it was no surprise when he became a world renowned Explorer and Navigator. Columbus went on many voyages around Africa which almost cost him his life. We recognise Christopher Columbus the most for his discovery of America on the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and the Niña along side. Like most famous people from the Renaissance Columbus kept a diary which we have translated into many languages so we now know his thoughts and opinions on his travels.
