Descriere: Columbus, Christopher (Italian Cristoforo Colombo, Spanish
Cristóbal Colón) (1451-1506), Italian-Spanish navigator who sailed west
across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a route to Asia but achieved fame by
making landfall, instead, in the Caribbean Sea. Columbus was born in Genoa,
Italy. His father was a weaver, and it is believed that Christopher entered
this trade as a young man. Information about the beginning of his seafaring
career is uncertain, but the independent city-state of Genoa had a busy
port, and he may have sailed as a commercial agent in his youth.
