Hi,
some people claim that he has born in Italy.. some say that he is Portuguese.. he married a Portuguese women,Filipa de Moniz, he had a Portugese son, Daniel Colombo...so for me he is Portuguese... I dont have any proofs that claims that he is not Portuguese! He found America in Spanish boats because at the time the Portuguese kings didnt want to "sponsor" his trip.. so he decided to go with the Spanish... Thats the reason!
I really like this mod a lot! I am working in another one.. so I will be in touch soon...
