NO, Christopher Columbus did not discover America he only actuly discvoerd the west indies and he thought it was India so no points to Italy. Then another Italian explorer thought he discoverd America but it was actuly Newfoundland so still no poits to Italy. Later after that the Spanish discoverd Florida but they thought it was a island so no points to Spain either. It is actuly England that discoverd main land America of the, Jamestown.
