Antonio de Pigafetta
Antonio de Pigafetta was an Italian explorer and chronicler best known for his detailed account of the first circumnavigation of the Earth, which he participated in as a member of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition from 1519 to 1522. His writings, particularly 'The First Voyage Around the World,' provide invaluable insights into the cultures and lands encountered during the journey, including observations of indigenous peoples and vivid descriptions of the territories explored, such as the Patagonian region. Pigafetta's work remains a critical source for historians studying the Age of Exploration and the early encounters between Europe and the Americas.
