The first Italian explorer to reach North America was John Cabot, known in Italian as Giovanni Caboto. He sailed under the English flag in 1497 and is credited with landing on the North American continent, likely in present-day Canada. Cabot's voyage marked one of the earliest European explorations of the mainland of North America since the Viking explorations. His discoveries opened the door for further exploration and colonization by European powers.
