Giovanni da Verrazzano was an Italian explorer who is best known for being the first European to explore the Atlantic coast of North America between Florida and Newfoundland. He made his notable voyage in 1524, during which he entered New York Harbor. Unfortunately, Verrazzano's later expeditions were less successful; he was eventually captured and killed by indigenous people in 1528 while exploring the coast of Brazil. His contributions to exploration are commemorated in several ways, including the naming of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City.
