Page 30 - Lanzarotto Malocello from Italy to the Canary Islands

30 from Italy to the Canary Islands

This book, which Alfonso Licata prepared with passion and dedication
to outline the figure of Malocello and his venture, is a meaningful and nec-
essary precursor to the initiatives in the pipeline. Its pages, characterised
by a serious and strict reconstruction of the historical sources, provide a
gripping and most pleasant read and introduce the themes and problems
th
of the history of navigation and geographical exploration between the 13
th
and 15 centuries, succeeding in clearly defining the contribution made by
Lanzarotto Malocello.
