A Florence en 1474, Amerigo Vespucci étudie la Philosophie, l'Astronomie et la Géographie. Devenu banquier au service de Laurent de Médicis, il est envoyé en Espagne où il assistera au préparatif du deuxième voyage de Christophe Colomb. Persuadé que ce dernier se trompe et que les terres qu'il vient de découvrir ne sont pas la Chine, il embarque en 1498 comme cartographie dans l'expédition dirigé par Alonso de Ojeda. Ils explorent la côte du Venezuela et découvrent l'Orénoque et l'Amazonie dont leur taille prouve que cette nouvelle terre est bien un continent.

02:12Me. Hey, we're not making any progress. Yes, there's no wind. Since we left,
02:21You promise to tell me how you, the son of a notary, became a scholar and navigator.
02:26So I'm listening to you, since there's nothing else to do but wait for the wind
02:30Please get up. Come on, maybe now's the time, isn't it? I'd like to. But it's
02:35A long story, you know, maybe a love story gone wrong. That
02:40It happened in Florence, a long time ago.
02:49Leonardo da Vinci, maybe you should watch where you're going. My bad, Amerigo.
02:54Vespucci. But what's become of you, Leonardo? I'm painting. My father enrolled me.
03:00at Verrocchio's workshop. Verrocchio? Well, he's a great painter, you're in luck.
03:04And you? Me, I'm studying. My uncle Giorgio is teaching me Latin, mathematics, astronomy,
03:10History, philosophy. You're lucky too, Amerigo. You're going to become a scholar.
03:15I'd love that too. Ah, to study mathematics and Latin. See you soon, Amerigo.
03:20Ciao.
03:21We'll start with mathematics, as you know. Amerigo, I taught you
03:25All I knew. Paolo Toscanali, the great geographer, will share his news with you.
03:30ideas.
03:32Everyone now knows that you can get to Asia by going around Africa. But
03:36I'm sure that in much less time, by sailing west, we can also
03:41to join Asia.
03:42So, would the Earth be smaller than we think?
03:45It's possible. I sent my card to a Genoese sailor who wants to attempt this voyage.
03:49Its name is cotton, bolon, colon. Yes, that's it. Christopher Columbus.
03:55Thanks to the science of Archimedes, the mathematics of Euclid, and the geography of Ptolemy,
04:00The stars in the sky hold no more secrets for me, Simonetta.
04:02This is all very interesting indeed, cousin Amerigo. And what are you going to do with it all?
04:07this knowledge, as well as the philosophy of Plato about which you spoke to me at length
04:11Last time?
04:12I don't know yet, Simonetta. I'd like to travel, to discover the world. What I do know is
04:17It's because one day, I will be famous.
04:20You are so pretty, cousin Simonetta.
04:29But what a marvel!
04:31Tell me, sir, I find you quite impertinent.
04:33Forgive me, but I am stunned. The oval of that face, the copper of her hair,
04:38that slender figure, that angelic gaze.
04:42How dare you? Come now, sir.
04:44Oh, forgive me, but you see, I am a painter, my name is Botticelli.
04:47The famous Botticelli?
04:49Yes, famous, well, anyway. Yes, Sandro Botticelli. I'm currently working on a large painting.
04:54The birth of Venus. I dreamed of finding a model. And you, you, you are...
04:59Mr. Botticelli, me, really, do you believe that?
05:02Oh yes, I'm certain of that. If you agree, you see, my painting, my painting,
05:07This will be a rebirth into life. Freshness, the symbol of pure love emerging from the waters
05:12to counter the world. And I believe that no one has yet come to express this.
05:17And with your Madonna-like face, or rather, I say, your saintly face,
05:21I have no doubt that you will be able to give my inspiration a boost.
05:25or rather, a flight that I had never experienced before...
05:28One day, I tried my hand at painting, but I really wasn't good at it.
05:36Well, aren't you going to eat, Américo?
05:39Father, I haven't done anything with my life yet and I'm about to turn 30.
05:43And since I know the Medici well, would you like me to find you a position in their bank?
05:48Meh. You see, Uncle Giorgio, around me, people are doing wonderful things.
05:52Leonardo became a great painter, as did Botticelli.
05:55The young Machiavelli, too, made a name for himself through politics.
05:59Pico della Mirandola, who is 10 years younger than me, that's all.
06:02I did nothing. No one will ever remember my name.
06:06Who is it, Américo? The world is in turmoil at the end of this century.
06:10There are still so many things to do, to discover.
06:15Oh, I'm fed up with this stupid job.
06:18Américo, you have a visitor. His Excellency, Lorenzo de Medici.
06:23Listen, Américo, you're a good banker, but you're bored here.
06:26Do you want to go to Seville, Spain? We have some interesting business opportunities there.
06:30Hey, hey, hey, hey...
06:51There, I am ready, Your Excellency.
07:12Welcome to Seville, you are at Merigo Vespucci of Florence
07:17How do you know that, Lord Berardi?
07:19We're not used to such cheerful clothes here.
07:21The Spanish like dark colors.
07:23Your timing is perfect, I actually need help equipping a large expedition
07:27A certain Christopher Columbus claimed to be going to India.
07:30But sailing west
07:31Do you realize this as you head west?
07:35Christopher Columbus, I've heard that name before, Columbus
07:39And on August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus left Spain to head west.
07:45His journey may have lasted a year, but he reached India.
07:49In India, you say?
07:51Are you sure he actually went to India?
07:53Of course, otherwise where would these Indians come from?
07:56However, I had been told that Indians wore turbans on their heads and sumptuous silk garments.
08:03Shh!
08:03Mr. Berardi, I intend to set off again in a few months with a larger number of ships.
08:09Can you join me in Cadiz, where I will be preparing for my new expedition?
08:24Admiral, here we are!
08:25Perfect, we need to act quickly, Mr. Berardi
08:27My new expedition will leave in three months.
08:30This time, it will have 17 ships, over 1000 men, livestock, and I want cannons.
08:3580, plus 30 barrels of gunpowder, 40 cows, 2 bulls, 100 horses and as many goats and pigs
08:43Will that be all?
08:43No, and also 32 barrels of wine, 20 bags of wheat seed, and this...
08:48That's an order! Come on, let's get to work!
09:15From Christopher Columbus
09:18There is no mistake, Your Majesty, it is indeed China that we have reached
09:23Listen, Christopher Columbus was a good sailor, but he knew nothing about geography.
09:28To determine one's location, it is essential to first take measurements using an astrolabe.
09:32So you think Columbus is wrong?
09:34Yes, and besides, I'm going to prove it and discover the true route to India.
09:37You know the rest as well as I do, since we lived through it together.
09:41Go ahead anyway, it'll remind us how we found that one, and other memories.
09:45I have received your communications, Lord Vespucci
09:48This is the land that Columbus discovered
09:49We need to explore them, describe them, map them, and discover others.
09:54Captain Alonso de Horeda, you are about to take command of a ship
10:00Amerigo Vespucci, you will provide us with accurate maps.
10:12Christopher Columbus is in Hispaniola, in the northwest
10:15We're going to head southwest
10:19Land in sight!
10:24Look, we must be at the mouth of a great river
10:29Tonight, I'm going ashore, that way I'll get a sense of latitude.
10:32Only a large continent could give birth to such a great river
10:39It looks like Venice
10:40Well, we'll call this place Venisette, or Venezuela in Spanish.
10:49And finally, I don't understand, big boats make small boats
10:52It's magic, we're in danger
11:08Living room !
11:14The bombs!
11:29I don't understand, we hadn't done anything to them.
11:32They were afraid of us, we'll continue south
11:41We must be wary.
11:43Yes, but also to believe in their goodwill
11:46Okay, well, let's go!
11:47It's true that they seem quite welcoming.
11:49They even bring us food
12:15Look, these are losses
12:20Gold
12:21There must be a mine
12:23Go ahead, ask him
12:25Gold? I still need some.
12:27Where did this gold come from?
12:29I need more
12:59Where is this mine?
13:11I need more
13:12I need more
13:14I need more
13:16I need more
13:31I need more
13:33Announce yourself
13:34You'll see what you'll see
13:39Not the hair, not the hair
13:46But where did he go?
13:48It's wild
13:49Perhaps it's better to go home, isn't it?
13:52Oh !
13:54Oh !
13:55Oh !
13:57They were friendly, though.
13:59What happened?
14:04This way!
14:05No one can live in there
14:07Let's go see
14:08But let's be careful.
14:10Oh! Look!
14:16Delicious !
14:16Oh! I'll take some for my collection.
14:20Oh !
14:22Oh! How wonderful!
14:37It's neither China nor India
14:38But a new world
14:39A mushroom!
14:47What is this ?
14:49Hey, that must be good!
14:53Oh !
14:53Oh !
14:54Oh !
14:54Oh !
14:55Oh !
14:55Oh !
14:55Oh !
14:56It's the body!
15:02Ah!
15:03What is this ?
15:04Ah!
15:05I've had enough!
15:06I'm going home
15:07I don't like these countries
15:08Ah!
15:08Merigo, come and see this!
15:10That nose!
15:11What a nose!
15:12Merigo!
15:13I want one!
15:14I need one!
15:25Merigo!
15:27Merigo!
15:29Merigo!
15:30Merigo!
15:30If it continues like this
15:32You're going to become famous
15:33We should go back
15:34We might get lost
15:35Come on, let's go!
15:37We've seen enough.
15:38Oh! What a strange animal!
15:39It's for my collection!
15:41Hey!
15:48Let the animal go, Merigo!
15:50Hurry!
15:51Oh !
15:54This is definitely not the time to be hanging around here.
15:57If you want this one for your collection, well, you'll have to go and get it yourself!
16:04Oh !
16:05Oh !
16:07My collection, my collection!
16:09You will find other opportunities
16:10I'm going to calculate the position of this river
16:13Ah! The North Star! It's quite low! Let's see.
16:18So, ten degrees north!
16:20We are a few hundred leagues from the equator.
16:24That's not an island, Alonso!
16:26It's a new world!
16:28And do you remember what you answered me?
16:30Do you remember?
16:34Yes, it may be a new world, but it's not paradise!
16:38And all of this to end up here!
16:41We're going to run out of water soon!
16:43I'm going to get some sleep!
16:45Call me if a kiss ever appears!
16:47You see, children, so that you understand better, it's in this area, towards Lorinoque,
16:52that Vespucci first set foot on the American continent!
16:55It is at the mouth of the Amazon!
16:57And all those strange animals, all those plants that Vespucci claimed to have discovered,
17:02We really didn't know about them in Europe?
17:05Um...
17:05No!
17:06Ah!
17:07Did you know that...
17:09Oh, but...
17:10In Europe, the tomato was unknown.
17:13the potato,
17:15corn,
17:17peanuts,
17:18the sunflower,
17:19cassava,
17:19cotton,
17:20pepper,
17:22pineapple,
17:23chocolate...
17:25Chocolate too?
17:26Heh heh heh, no!
17:28At least, the cocoa used to make chocolate!
17:30And then, rubber!
17:34There are so many things I forget!
17:37Ah yes, well, the lawyer! Look, the lawyer!
17:39Tobacco!
17:40We could have thought the same of that one!
17:42Vanilla!
17:44And again...
17:45Oh !
17:46Trial and error, of course!
17:48How could I forget the groping?
17:54And what happened to our friends who were left stranded without wind?
17:58The wind will eventually pick up, you'll see!
18:03America!
18:04What? What is it?
18:05America!
18:08Ouch!
18:10America!
18:16America!
18:16So, you can't hear? We're going to have a dog fight! Look!
18:21And stop snorting at that shoe! But do it now!
18:26Look! I think things are about to get ugly!
18:29That's better than complete calm!
18:38Lower the sails! All the sails!
18:41America!
18:42America!
18:47Our all-powerful father who helps sorcerers, protect us from the raging elements!
18:56The parrot has disappeared!
18:58Yes, we are lucky to still be alive!
19:03Ah, there was a drop of water!
19:04In addition, the flour is soaked!
19:06We are near land, we will resupply!
19:09Hoist the sails!
19:14America! America!
19:15America!
19:15You ?
19:23America!
19:25America! America!
19:53It looks like a snake with legs.
19:55It's a reptile, but what a shell, huh?
20:03Those creatures are incredibly ferocious.
20:07In any case, it's not bad. It looks a bit like chicken.
20:14I believe we are at the equator. Let's walk west.
20:24Oh no, the sea! Hard to starboard!
20:30Oh, the water, it's sweet and it's even good to drink.
20:37Come on, Giovanni, what are you talking about?
20:40Try it, you'll see.
20:43But he's right, it's not salty at all.
20:46Yet there is no land in sight.
20:48So, it must be a gigantic river.
20:52In any case, let's get some water, we're short of it.
20:55Hoist the sails, head west!
21:02Three strokes deep. Watch out, sandbar!
21:22And there it is, exactly on the equator.
21:25Tomorrow, we will put the flower back up.
21:42The devil is the devil!
22:03Pigs!
22:07A good meal is in store.
22:22What's gotten into you, Alonso?
22:25Horror!
22:26That nose! Did you see that nose?
22:28Oh, come on! You mustn't be afraid of little creatures, Alonso.
22:32He was getting rid of some ants for you.
22:39Don't be afraid of little creatures, Amerigo.
22:42They are heading towards our village.
22:44I don't believe they are friends.
22:59They must not be allowed to approach. They are killed.
23:02Why? Maybe they're not bad.
23:04I don't believe they are men.
23:07Come on, let's kill them. That way we can eat them.
23:14No, let's see first.
23:15If we have to kill them, we will do it when the time comes.
23:18I agree. We're going to hide.
23:20We're going to hide, we're going to hide.
23:50We come from far away. We come from the East, where the sun rises.
23:54We would like to be your friends.
24:02In 1501, Vespucci, alone this time without Alonso Horeda, was at the head of three caravels.
24:08And he's going to leave for a new trip.
24:10This one will be for Manuel I of Portugal.
24:13He will draw up plans to define precise latitudes and longitudes.
24:17Then, he will write a book.
24:20I have lived through all these adventures.
24:22And then I knew that we were indeed in the presence of a new world.
24:26And a few years later, in the Vosges mountains,
24:27This is Canon Loud, one of the first map printers.
24:31Stop! Stop! Everything must be changed!
24:34Huh? What? Ptolenet's maps, brother Valzé-Muller?
24:37What? Yes, they do.
24:39This is crucial.
24:40Hey, hey, hey, hey, what do we see!
24:40This is historic.
24:42Brother Martin, you're not there.
24:43But you don't understand.
24:45According to Ptolemy, there are only three continents.
24:47Africa, Asia, Europe.
24:49Oh, there's a fourth one.
24:51What is described here in detail?
24:53a great traveler named Amerigo Vespucci.
24:56A fourth continent, eh?
24:58Do you see that?
24:59And what is the name of your new continent?
25:02Well, in short, it doesn't have a name.
25:04but we could call her Vespuccia.
25:06Europa, Asia, Africa, Vespuccia.
25:10Oh no, Martin, no, no, no.
25:11It's a bit pathetic, Vespuccia.
25:14So, uh, America.
25:15Ah yes, that's better.
25:17Europe, Asia, Africa, America.
25:19Ah yes, yes, yes, yes, much better.
25:21Not for America.
25:29Oh!
25:30Yes, that's how it is, or more or less.
25:32that the new continent will receive this name
25:34which you all know, America.
25:42The explorers
25:46They discovered the world, they made the earth round,
25:48These synopaths
25:51They will still find ways to forge their own paths.
25:54And then offer them to the souls
25:57Like offering a beautiful woman
25:59To you, to us, to me, I believe.
