Almost every southern European nation has asserted rumors that he was "really" from their country—Spain, Portugal, other parts of Italy instead of Genoa, etc. He has been described as being six feet tall, having reddish blond hair, freckles and blue or hazel eyes, so... it's possible, but unlikely, as there were Celts all over that region. More will be known when results of the DNA tests begun in 2021 on his exhumed bones and swabs from the many families in the Mediterranean region named Columbus, Colon, or variants, are completed:

DNA Tests on Christopher Columbus' bones, on his relatives and on Genoese and Catalan claimants

COULD DNA FINALLY TELL US WHERE CRISTOFORO COLOMBO WAS FROM?
