LIVE AFTER EXPLORATION

  • His death is not known for certain.
  • They say he was eaten by canibals
Some say that he died in the Lesser Antilles or in the Caribbean, killed by cannibals who ate him, witnessed by his brother who was in the main boat anchored away from shore and could do nothing. Another source says that he was captured by the Spanish and hanged as a French corsair. Whatever the case, Giovanni da Verrazano died at the age of 43.
