Pinzón

Martín Alonso Pinzón was a Spaniard who shared and made possible the dream of Columbus, that foreigner with superficial culture and secret information with the ambition of breaking the limit of the non plus ultra. But from the same shared desire, the contrasting characters of the protagonists in a new scenario of improvised demands will finally favor isolation. Pinzón's practical sense will clash with Christopher Columbus's providential mysticism to a critical point of dissent, Captain Palermo's firm rejection of the creation of the Christmas colony created against the opinion of captains, pilots and masters. A master of self-propaganda, Colón describes his own merits and enjoys only the glory of triumph, but the facts show, despite his speech, that Martín Alonso Pinzón was the co-discoverer in the vanguard in the Indies.
