Voyages of An Extraordinary Man

He was born in Genoa, and his mother was Susanna; and he set sail at the age of fourteen, to begin a new exploration age! His father Domenico gave him inspiration and courage... while his three brothers: Giacomo, Bartolomeo and Giovanni ventured with him on his long and dangerous voyages, and accused of many atrocities... they were sent back to Spain in chains! A visionary with an extraordinary man's ego, followed in the footsteps of Marco Polo... and in his final days, he died a disappointed man!
