The Italian Adventuress and Americas Museum Paradox
In Ogdensburg a Remington exhibit mirrors a life led by an Italian exile famed for luxury and romance. Her tale runs from a Parisian home to an American castle with George Parrish, ending abruptly as he leaves to Europe. The piece contrasts her legend with Vespucci's discovery of a New World and sketches his voyages from 1499 to 1502, noting later works that shaped public understanding and the 1507 Waldseemüller map project in France.
