Columbus was NOT Italian, but Spanish and he sailed for Spain. He was from a Spanish noble family who were rivals of the crown so he took on a persona to get funding. His log and journals were all in Spanish, his wife was from a Spanish noble family, and he spoke Spanish. Nothing points him out as Italian.
