Christopher Columbus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and other sources

Christopher Columbus (c. 1451 – 20 May 1506) was a navigator colonizer and explorer whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean led to general European awareness of the American Continents in the Westrn Hemisphere.
Even though the general belief during the 20th century was that he was born in Genoa, there are other theories. Recent studies have indicated that Columbus may have been catalan though these theories have found little support amongst historians and linguists.
It is commonly, although not universally, believed that Christopher Columbus was born between 25 August and 31 October 1451 in Genoa, part of modern Italy.
His father was Domenico Colombo, a middle-class wool weaver, who later also had a Cheese Stand where Christopher was a helper, working both in Genoa and Savona.
His mother was Susanna Fontanrossa. Bartolomeo, Giovanni Pellegrino and Giacomo were his brothers. Bartolomeo worked in a cartography workshop in Lisbon for at least part of his adulthood.
Columbus never wrote in his native language, but it may be assumed this was the Genoese variety of Ligurian. In one of his writings, Columbus claims to have gone to the sea at the age of 10.
In 1470 the Columbus family moved to Savona, where Domenico took over a tavern. In the same year, Columbus was on a Genoese ship hired in the service of Rene I on Anjou to support his attempt to conquer the Kingdom of Naples.
He married Filipa Moniz Perestrello, daughter of the Porto Santo governor, the Portuguese nobleman of Genoese origin Bartolomeu Perestrello.
In 1479 or 1480, his son Diego was born. Some records report that Felipa died in 1485. It is also speculated that Columbus may have simply left his first wife. In either case Columbus found a mistress in Spain in 1487, a 20-year-old orphan named Beatriz Enriquez de Arana.
-------------------------
At the early age of 14, Columbus started a career in the sea. Like any new apprentice, Columbus started as a messenger and worked his way up.
In 1472, Columbus made his way on his first commanding trip to Tunis, as a sea merchant, to help sell goods to the Genoese Allies. This trip gave him economic independence from his family.
In 1477 Columbus moved to Lisbon with his brother Bartolomeo, who was a mapmaker and studied geography. He worked with as a draftsman and a book collector.
In Lisbon, Christopher met a woman named Felipa Perestrello e Moniz. They were married after a short courtship and in 1480 they had a son who they named Diego.
The next few years Columbus went on few voyages and spent most of his time gaining more knowledge by reading books. Felipa belonged to a noble family of Portugal which gave Christopher access to her father’s maps and papers. The knowledge he gained led him to his theory. To go east you have to go west. This theory is what started his Enterprise of the Indies.
Columbus was very ill when he got to his homeland and spent many months in Seville, trying to recuperate.
In an act of the wool weavers of Savona, dated 12 March 1473, Domenico's name reappears. On 24 September of that year he sold the Genoa house in the Via dell'Olivella.
At the beginning of 1447, having already bought some land with a house in the Legino district, he likewise disposed of the house in Vico Diritto, in the Sant'Andrea quarter.

On 17 August 1481, he rented out the Legino house and returned to Genoa. In a document of 27 January 1483 he is referred to as "olim textor pannorum," a former weaver.
He was by now sixty-five and his wife was probably dead. None of his
sons was living with him.
Giovanni Pellegrino, his second born, must have died young.
