Biography
Domenico Colombo is Notable.
Domenico Colombo (Dominic Columbus) was born 1 MAR 1417. [1]
He had three brothers, who were called Franceschino, Giacomo and Bertino.
His father, Giovanni Colombo, had apprenticed him to the loom at age 11 on February 21, 1429. [2]Domenico, a third-generation master of his craft in Genoa, was also a shopkeeper.
Were the Colombo Family Secret Jews?
Domingo de Colon and Suzana de Fonterosa, were Maranos, Jews who were forced to embrace Christianity to save their lives in that day of the Inquisition terror.[3]
And now Christopher Columbus, or Christoforo Columbo as the Italians think of him, emerges in his true light as a Spanish Jew.[4]
During the time of Domenico's son Columbus' voyage, Marranos were a targeted group. Tens of thousands of them were tortured during the Spanish Inquisition, so keeping one's true religious identity secret was a crucial priority for many.
