Best Answer

The newest research on Columbus actually shows that he was Spanish and not Italian. He wrote only in Spanish and spoke only Spanish. His wife was Spanish nobility. Historians think that Columbus took on the persona of an Italian because his family in Spain were not friends with the crown and he knew he wouldn't be able to get funding for his voyage if he kept his real identity.
