Christopher Columbus was boring in Genoa. His birthday is between August and October of 1451. Today Genoa is part of Italy, but in 1451 it was an independent city-state, and the richest city in the western Mediterranean. The native language of Genoa at that time was Ligurian. Columbus spoke several languages at the time he was an adult, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, and maybe Catalan. This is why its difficult to know his nationality. Christopher Columbus appears to have donated one-tenth of his cash gained from his discovery of the Americas to the Bank of San Giorgio in Genoa for food.
