Not just a bootish-peninsula, I am sure that was apparent quickly, I am asking when cartographers confirmed in fact that the peninsula was accurately drawn strikingly like a boot.

    People have lived in what is now Italy considerably longer (tens of thousands of years) than in North America and we know there were broad scale maps showing Italy’s boot shape at least 2500 years ago so I would be very surprised to find it was not Italy.
