guerret wrote:I know and like Colombo by Peter Falk (he is very well known in Italy). However, the guy you call Columbus happens to hail from Genova (although some Spaniards claim him for their own), so his name is Cristoforo Colombo.BTW, I think that when you took Italian lessons, you were cheated.
