Giovanni da Verrazzano was an Italian explorer of North America, in the service of King Francis I of France. He is renowned as the first European since the Norse expeditions to North America around AD 1000 to explore the Atlantic coast of North America between Florida and New Brunswick, including New York Bay and Narragansett Bay in 1524.
Giovanni de Verazzano and then Henry Hudson.
Verrazano's discovery of New York Harbor in 1524 and exploration of the area laid the foundation for Henry Hudson's later exploration of the region in 1609. Hudson followed Verrazano's route and further explored the potential for trade and settlement in the area, which ultimately led to the establishment of Dutch and English colonies in the region.
