This story is about the adventurous life of Christopher Columbus, born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. Unlike his parents, who were weavers, Columbus was captivated by seafaring from a young age, embarking on his first voyage at fourteen. Despite facing hardships, including a shipwreck that led him to Portugal, he was resolute in his ambition to explore. Columbus aimed to reach the East Indies, seeking patronage from Portugal and France, but was turned down. After persistent appeals, the Spanish monarchs, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, agreed to support him, with Italian funding playing an essential part. In 1492, Columbus set sail with his ships Niņa, Pinta, and Santa Maria, marking the beginning of a historic journey that would change the world forever.
