Giovanni da Verrazzano (1485?-1527) was born in or around Florence. Very little is known of Verrazzano�s life prior to his first voyage to America. In 1526 Verrazzano and his brother led an unsuccessful French attempt to round Cape Horn but, repulsed by storms, explored the coast of Brazil instead before returning to France the next year. In 1528 the brothers headed an expedition to Central America during which, after reaching Florida and crossing the Caribbean to the coast of Panama, Verrazzano was killed.
