Giovanni Da Verrazano

By: Angel G. Ramos

Introduction• In this report I will be discussing the well known explorer, Giovanni

da Verrazano. I will include why he traveled to North America, the obstacles he faced, the reactions from the Native Americans, and his contributions to New York State. There are many reasons as to why I chose to research this explorer. For example, I wanted to know about all about his life. Also I wanted to know what his contribution to NYS was. In addition, I wanted to know if all the information people wrote were true or made up. For example, if he actually stole a Native American girl and took all her stuff. Then, left her by herself somewhere she did not know. Furthermore, I’m interested to know if Native American really ate Giovanni da Verrazano. If not how did he die?
