Giovanni da Verrazano was an Italian explorer known for his exploration of the North American coast in the early 16th century. He is credited with the first European sighting of New York Harbor and the coastline from present-day North Carolina to Newfoundland. His voyages provided valuable information about the geography and indigenous peoples of the region, although they did not lead to permanent settlements. Verrazano's explorations laid the groundwork for future European claims and exploration in North America.
