An Italian: Christopher Columbus!

Pater Patriae! I went to Genoa to see the port where Christopher Columbus learned how to sail. It was a delight! There, with many Latin American tourists, I even made a visit to the house where he once lived, now a small museum. "Nice to know Columbus was an Italian," I exclaimed to a Genovese. Her reply: "Yes, America was discovered by an Italian who was lost!"
