12. 7/8-- Right island, wrong name for settlement, but I also know...

that in his writings he hated Genoa and the rest of the Italians and swore never to go back, so why have modern Italians forgiven him and taken him as one of their own?

And there are no accurate pictures of him anywhere-- he never had a prtrait done during his lifetime..
