Clearing the Name. The names of Amerigo's contemporaries in Florence read like a glory roll: Lorenzo de' Medici, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Leonardo da Vinci. Good Florentine that he was, he had no trouble mixing an interest in art and ideas with the art of business. While he was in Seville, Spain, as an agent for Florentine interests, he came to know Columbus and King Ferdinand, who gave him the chance to go on voyages that resulted in the first useful maps of the New World's continental coastline...
