Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451 to Domenico Columbo, a wool weaver.
He worked for his Father until he was 22 then set out to follow his own dream to become a sea captain. Many of his fellow Genoese had prospered in Lisbon under the Portuguese flag as Captains of sailing ships and he longed to join their ranks.
