How Was Christopher Columbus Childhood Like?

Christopher Columbus was an navigator, colonizer and explorer who belonged to Italy. Historians agree that he was born between August and October 1451 in Genoa, Italy.

His father was Domenico Colombo, who was a middle class wool weaver. His mother was Susanna Fontanarossa. His father also opened a cheese stand, where he worked as a helper later on. He had two brothers.

He attended Prince Henry's school of navigation in Sagres, Portugal at the age of 13. Columbus himself has written that he went to the sea at the age of 10. This happened in 1470 when he was hired on a Genoese ship in  the service of Rene I of Anjou.

He began his apprenticeship as a business agent for Centurione, Di Negro and Spinola families in the year 1473. He later on made a trip to Chios in the Aegean SEA. He also took part in armed convoy which was sent by Genoa to Northern Europe in May 1476. These childhood opportunities helped him become an explorer later on.

Christopher Columbus was very rich when he was a child, had a great education (and was brilliant at geography) and took lots of interest in traveling and different countries.
