How Florence invented America : Vespucci, Verrazzano, & Mazzei and their contribution to the conception of the New World

Author:	Giancarlo Masini; Iacopo Gori
Publisher:	New York : Marsilio Publishers : Distributed by Consortium Book Sales & Distribution, ©1998.
Edition/Format:	Book : Biography : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Three Florentines-Amerigo Vespucci, Giovanni da Verazzano, and Filippo Mazzei-made indispensable contributions to America's "discovery" and to the democratic ideals upon which the republic was founded.
