Who was Visconte Maggiolo?
Visconte Maggiolo, also spelled Maiollo and Maiolo, was an Italian cartographer and sailor.
He was born in Florence and was a fellow sailor of explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. He died of malaria in 1530.
In 1527, he created a map depicting Verrazzano's travels. This map had a major error, as Giovanni did not accurately describe the North American continent. This error was not to be fixed for over a century.
