He was Genovese. Just because Genoa is located in modern day Italy does not make Columbus Italian. There was no Italian nation in 1451 when he was born.

Columbus is ok in my book as Im 1/2 spaniard and 1/2 Italian. Go Chris !!!! His real name is cristobal Columbo anglos call him Christopher columbus and the Spanish call him Cristobal Colon. There is some controvrsey at his bio. heck ive even heard he was jewish. either way the guy had elephant balls to do what he did.
