Amerigo Vespucci never actually met Christopher Columbus. Columbus made his first voyage to the Americas in 1492, while Vespucci’s notable explorations occurred in the late 1490s and early 1500s, primarily after Columbus's initial discoveries. Their paths did not cross, but both played significant roles in the European exploration of the New World, with Vespucci later providing insights that contributed to the understanding that the Americas were separate continents, leading to the naming of America in his honor.
