Giovanni da Verrazzano was an Italian explorer of the early 16th century, known for being the first European to explore the coast of North America between Florida and New Brunswick. He sailed under the French flag and is best known for his 1524 voyage, during which he mapped parts of the Atlantic coast, including New York Harbor. Verrazzano's expeditions contributed to European knowledge of the continent, although he ultimately met a tragic end during a later voyage in the Caribbean. His legacy is commemorated in various places, including the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City.
