Marigalante was his blasphemous nickname for La Santa Maria but the one in question wasn't concerned as he was a whore monger and Maria in all her glory pleased him. On his second voyage he did have a Marigalante officially.
And after his return from the first voyage he did not go straight back to "Spain" as a good doggie. Instead he tried to strike a deal with "Portugal". This will force the Pope to draw the Line of Demarcation.
Interesting that in the Royal Court in Madrid a delegation was from Genoa and they knew him not. No evidence he wrote in Italian, but in the dialect of Barcelona where he had a residence.

Has a lot in common with Trump. Drumpf Columbus (Colom?)
