On April 17, 500 years ago, Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed into New York Bay, describing the land and his encounters with its native inhabitants. The Verrazzano–Narrows Bridge in New York was named after him.
New York City is one of the top-rated tourist attractions in the world, and many have it on their proverbial bucket list. Danuta Hamlin joined Fox News Channel in 1997. She is the author of two books: The Manuscript and "Camp Nel."
However, the first outsider to reach New York Bay and to describe it was Giovanni de Verrazzano, an intrepid Italian explorer from Florence.
