An Italian explorer, Cristoforo Colombo is of course most famous for his 'discovery' of North America. But a recent historical theory suggests that Columbus was not born in Genoa, Italy, and rather was a Portuguese nobleman who adopted the name when he moved to Spain -- and DNA from a skeleton might prove it.

Excellent points, well taken. Key word might


Today is Columbus Day and everyone is Italiano, enjoy !

Muito interessante! 

Sì, in effetti, era probabilmente l'uomo più interessante del "nuovo mondo" originale

He said:

Yes indeed, he was probably the original "new world's" most interesting man

Probably, then his first words when greeted in the new world:
"Traga-me uma carveja!"

("Bring me a beer!")
