I can't quit figure out why on Earth, one of the most famous Italian figures would see his name angicised in a German sentence. This is beyond me!

I thought the same when I read his Venetian name on the German Wikipedia, but then again... he seems not to be from Venice originally.
And then also: every country has their own version of Christoph Kolumbus, Christopher Columbus, Cristobal Colón and so on... German doesn't seem to have "Johannes Kabot", so what's to be preferred?

>I can't for the life of me figure out why the name of one of the most famous Venetian figures would see his name italianized.

Venice? How many divisions?
