Best Answer

Neither, by birth. He was Genoese, from the Republic of Genoa in northwest Italy, which only later became part of Sardinia (Italy). He sailed for the Spanish after being turned down by the Portuguese. His name in English combines an English version of his given name (Cristoforo) and the Latin form of his surname in Italian (Colombo).
