<human>:  Was Saint Vincent and the Grenadines named by an Italian explorer?
<bot>: Yes, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, two countries in the Caribbean, were named by an Italian explorer. Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, was the first European to discover the islands. He named them after St. Vincent because he first saw the island on the saint's feast day, and the Spanish city of Granada. So Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were named by an Italian.
