COLUMBUS, Christopher (Cristoforo Columbo): Statue at Holy Rosary Church in Washington, D.C.
by Carlo Nicoli
Christopher Columbus (1451 – May 20, 1506) was a navigator, colonizer and one of the first Europeans to explore the Americas after the Vikings. Though not the first to reach the Americas from Europe, Columbus' voyages led to general European awareness of the hemisphere and the successful establishment of European cultures in the New World.
