October 12th is celebrated in Latin America as "Dia de la Raza", to honor the indigenous populations of the New World. In the U.S., October 12th is celebrated as Columbus Day, because Christopher Columbus "discovered the New World" on October 12th, 1492. Spain celebrates this day because it was King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella who financed Columbus's trip with the 3 boats, the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria. Christopher Columbus was a native of Italy from Genoa, which is why October 12th is celebrated in Italy.
