Best Answer

The Atlantic voyages were for business reasons. The Portugues and Spanish wanted to find an alternative route to India, where valuable spices were produced.

They wanted an alternative because the Italians had a monopoly on the most direct route. So the Italians didn't need to look for a different route as they already had one.
