Amerigo Vespucci, born on 9 March 1454, in Florence,
Italy, was an Italian merchant, explorer, and navigator from the
Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived.
Between 1497 and 1504, Vespucci participated in at least two voyages of the Age
of Discovery, first on behalf of Spain and then for Portugal.
