It is almost twelve years since I wrote an article with the title - ‘The Columbus Industry’. There have been others - ‘The Columbus Conspiracy’, ‘The Columbus Conundrum’, ‘The Columbus Improbability’ - but the one about the industry was more or less where it all started. And by it, I mean the determination to disprove that Columbus came from Genoa, my fascination with which lies with what can seem to border on the obsession of those who wish to do this, and all that there is riding on locating his birthplace somewhere other than Genoa.
