Cogoleto at one time bore away the palm. The families there claim the discoverer and preserve a portrait of him. One or both of the two admirals named Colombo, with whom he sailed, are stated to have come from that place, and to have been confounded with him so as to have given support to this idea.f Savona, a city in the Genoese territories, has claimed the same honor, and this claim has recently been very strongly brought forward. Signor Giovanni Battista Belloro, an advocate of Savona, has s...trenuously main- tained this claim in an ingenious disputation, dated May 12th, 1826, in form of a letter to the Baron du Zach, editor of a valuable astronomical and geographical journal, published monthly at Genoa.| Signor Belloro claims it as an admitted fact, that Domenico Colombo was for many years a resident and citizen of Savona, in which place one Christopher Columbus is shown to have signed a document in 1472. He states that a public square in that city bore the name of Platea Columbi, toward the end of the 14th century ; that the Ligurian govern- ment gave the name of Jurisdizione di ColonUi to that district of the republic, under the persuasion that the great navigator was a native of Savona ; and that Columbus gave the name of Saona to a little island adjacent to Hispanida, among his earliest discoveries.
