Features: The son of a textile merchant in Genoa, he transformed himself into the "outstanding Don Christopher Columbus, Marshal of the Atlantic Navy, Governor and Lifelong Administrator of the Islands and Lands of India, and the Ocean Guard of the King and Queen." Christopher Columbus made four voyages between 1492 and 1504, discovering and opening the door to the Americas.
