Zuane Pizzigano

Zuane Pizzigano was a Venetian cartographer at the beginning of the 15th century.

Also worth mentioning is his map of 1424, on the two islands are located in the West. The most obvious is the identification with the volcanic Azores. Trailer transatlantic trips before Columbus to see these islands, however, as evidence of Puerto Rico and also volcanic Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. The island is called a con ymana what in the old Portuguese " a volcano erupts there " means. The other island is called " antilia " and is therefore probably the first cartographic representation of the phantom island of Antilia.
