Christopher Columbus was born in Italy so he is Italian.
The Spanish Sovereigns financed his voyage.
Christopher Columbus should be the answer for you because he has been widely credited as having discovered America, although technically he was not the first to land on the America continent. Leif Ericson landed on Canada half a century earlier then Columbus. Amerigo Vespucci came later, during this time Columbus had fell out of favor with his Spanish sovereigns so they gave the credit to Amerigo and named America after him.
