Centro Studi Colombiani Monferrini

The Centro Studi Colombiani Monferrini is an association dedicated to research into the possible Piedmontese origins of the navigator Christopher Columbus.

On 22 October 2026 the Centre presented its research at Palazzo Lascaris, seat of the Regional Council of Piedmont in Turin, during the 4th International Congress of Columbian Studies, on the possible descent of Christopher Columbus from the feudal Colombo family of Cuccaro Monferrato, in the Alessandria area.¹²
