![]() ![]() In December 1495, on the death of a Florentine merchant, Juanoto Berardi, established at Seville, who had fitted out the second expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1493, and had also undertaken to fit out twelve ships for the king of Spain (April 9th, 1495), Vespucci was commissioned to complete the contract. A letter of the 30th of December 1492 shows that he was then in Seville and until the 12th of January 1496 he seems to have usually resided in Spain, especially at Seville and Cadiz, probably as an agent of the Medici. He was placed as a clerk in the great commercial house of the Medici, then the ruling family in Florence. As a student Amerigo is said to have shown a preference for natural philosophy, astronomy and geography. His father, Nastagio (Anastasio) Vespucci, was a notary, and his uncle, Fra Giorgio Antonio Vespucci, to whom he owed his education, was a scholarly Dominican and a friend of Girolamo Savonarola. Merchant and adventurer, who gave his name of Amerigo to the new world as America, was born at Florence on the 9th of March 1451.
