Rich financers who defended Columbus���s project

In Portugal Columbus said that he will pass the Atlantic Ocean in about 30 days in order to reach the eastern coast of Asia. Van Olmen shared this thought with Juan II after he looked through the Genoese seaman’s project. It means that the French seaman’s expedition travelled in accordance with the transatlantic project prepared by Columbus besides the map made by Paolo Toscanelli.Santangel wanted to realize Columbus’s project as he believed that it was important for his own future. Besides it he believed that new territories would be discovered and he would get a lot of wealth…Pinelli could get enough profits at the result of Colum-bus’s expeditions and he was one of the first organizers of the Chamber of Commerce (“Casa de Contratacion”) of Spain managing India in 1503”.
