Amerigo Vespucci was famous for his exploration of the New World, particularly the coast of South America, during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He is credited with demonstrating that the lands encountered by Europeans were part of a separate continent, distinct from Asia. His name was used to label the Americas in honor of his contributions, thanks to the publication of letters that detailed his voyages and observations. Additionally, Vespucci's work in cartography and navigation significantly influenced the understanding of the geography of the New World.
