Arriving in Bettola and finding the statue of Christopher Columbus in the middle of the square certainly arouses a minimum of curiosity.
We know little about Colombo's life in Italy, that he was from Genoa seems the most probable hypothesis but it is almost certain that Colombo's parents were from Bettola and that they then moved to the Ligurian city; since we don't know the real date of birth of our famous navigator, we can really venture the hypothesis that he too was born in Bettola, the inhabitants of this beautiful place are proud of this and believe it. What is certain is that no Bettolese will ever want to follow that demented trend we are witnessing, that of destroying the statue of Columbus, a great figure in world history to whom we owe the discovery of a new world hitherto unknown. What negative followed later is certainly not attributable to the great navigator.
Be that as it may, Bettola is worth a stop
