Domenico Colombo (English: Dominic Columbus; Genoese: Domenego Corombo; 1 March 1418 – 1496) was an Italian weaver, the father of navigator Christopher Columbus and Bartholomew Columbus.
There is speculation that the city of Santo Domingo on the island of Hispaniola, which his son Christopher first settled upon when reaching the New World, was named after him.
Although, others argue Bartholomew, undecided about the name, saw in the calendar that August 8 was dedicated to Santo Domingo de Guzman, as so he called it.
