Lancelotto Malocello is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Lancelotto Malocello as Italian explorer.
Lancelotto Malocello was born at Varazze in 1270.
This was the great age of overland travel: Arab geographers, Chinese Buddhist pilgrims and Norse seafarers each reached further than Europe knew.
He is recorded as explorer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Lancelotto Malocello died in 1336, aged 66. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
