Domenico Ghirlandaio frescos a young
Amerigo Vespucci
(1454 - 1512 (58)), in the
Florence church of Ognissanti.
The Vespucci family were Ognissanti parishioners, and the two
continents of the Americas were later named after their explorer son
Amerigo. The refectory of Ognissanti also has one of the
best surviving Renaissance "Last
Suppers".
