 LESSON 1: EXCERPT FROM ANTONIO
PIGAFETTA’S FIRST VOYAGE AROUND THE
WORLD LESSON
WHO IS ANTONIO PIGAFETTA
• Antonio Pigafetta was a Venetian scholar and a
Italian navigator.
• He kept an accurate journal of the trip, the source
for most of what we know about the voyage.
• Pigafetta's exact year of birth is not known, with
estimates ranging between 1480 and 1491. A birth
year of 1491 would have made him around 30
years old during Magellan's expedition, which
historians have considered more probable than an
age close to 40.
 ANTONIO PIGAFETTA
• He joined the expedition to the Spice Islands led by explorer Ferdinand Magellan under the
flag of King Charles I of Spain and, after Magellan's death in the Philippines.
• On 10 August 1519, five ships departed from Seville for what was to become the first
circumnavigation of the globe. Linked by fame to the name of its captain, Magellan, much
of the expedition is known through the travelogue of one of the few crew members who
returned to Spain, Antonio Pigafetta.
• A narrative and cartographic record of the journey (including 23 hand-drawn water colour
charts) from Patagonia to Indonesia, from the Philippines to the Cape of Good Hope,
Pigafetta's The First Voyage around the World is a classic of discovery and exploration
literature.
