Giovanni da Verrazzano was an Italian explorer known for his voyages along the North American coast in the early 16th century. In 1524, he became the first European to explore the Atlantic coast of North America, including present-day New York Harbor and Newport, Rhode Island. He was also tasked by the French crown to find a route to the Pacific, contributing to the early mapping of the eastern seaboard. His expeditions provided valuable information about the geography and indigenous peoples of the region.
