Christoforo Colombo?


are there any disendans of christoforo colombo in genova or a house??

In Piazza Dante, few metres from Piazza de Ferrari. close to the Porta Soprana there is the (supposed) House of Columbus... don't waste your time there, Columbus never even saw that house, it's only a tourist trap, but house looks nice!

It is most widely accepted that he was born in Genoa, Italy. Other alternatives have been proposed, but no proof has been determined. Clues to Columbus' origin such as learned languages and DNA samples have been studied, but no definitive answer has yet been revealed.
