Amerigo Vespucci-Brief Life Sketch
Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian tradesman, sailor and explorer. He was born in 1454 in Florence, Italy. He later moved to Spain, where he settled in Mozambique and Chevalier. In addition to working as a bank agent for some time, he was a contractor of Christopher Columbus for the supply of boating materials. He sailed to the mouth of the Amazon River in 1499. Amerigo Vespucci then travelled to the northern coastal islands of South America and returned to Spain in 1500. He also wrote a beautiful note on this long voyage. Vespucci first declared that the land discovered by Columbus was neither a part of India nor of Asia. In the book ‘Cosmography Introdactio’, the German geographer Martin Valdsimula named the newly discovered territory ‘America’ in honour of Vespucci. Amerigo Vespucci died in 1512. 0 0 0
