as far as i know, hernando colón never stated that his father was originally from any of the italian republics, but only that there were those who wanted him to be. perhaps it would be a good idea to quote the source in its original language. GUi 01:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Father's biography
The title of Ferdinand's book is translated as The life of the Admiral Christopher Columbus by his son Ferdinand. Ugh!

I'm far from an expert on this, but I believe that Ferdinand Columbus's book cited as Historie del S. D. Fernando Colombo; nelle quali s'ha particolare, & vera relatione della vita, & de fatti dell'Ammiraglio D. Cristoforo Colombo, suo padre: Et dello scoprimento ch'egli fece dell'Indie Occidentali, dette Mondo Nuovo should actually be Historie del Signore Don Fernando Colombo, Nelle quali s'ha particolare, & vera relatione della vita, & de'fatti dell'Ammiraglio Don Christoforo Colombo, suo padre: & dello scoprimento, che egli fece dell'Indie Occidentali, dette Mondo Nuovo (see https://archive.org/stream/historiedelsdfer00coln#page/n45/mode/2up). I think it's actually in the Venetian dialect of Italian, and I have loosely translated as The History of Sir Fernando Colombo Esq., Presenting the true life & events of Admiral Cristoforo Colombo Esq., his father: And the discovery of the West Indies, known as The New World. ‎ MarkFilipak  2 June 2014
