Amerigo

Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1454 – February 22, 1512) was an Florentine merchant, explorer, and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term America is derived.

Amerigo Bartoli Natinguerra (1890, in Terni – 1971, in Rome) was an Italian painter, caricaturist, and writer. He mainly painted vedute and landscapes, using both oil and water color in subdued earthy tones. He also painted still lifes and portraits.

Amerigo is the name of Sinterklaas' white horse. He walks on rooftops and is loved by Dutch children.

This is the name of the character who appears in the 1st scene of "The Godfather", the undertaker Amerigo Bonasera. I think this name was picked for this character in order to symbolize an immigrant's disillusionment with America.
