Correct Answer:

Manucci

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Manucci

Manucci was an Italian Doctor who never returned to Italy.

One of the most famous was the French jeweller Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, who travelled to India at least six times. He was particularly fascinated with the trading conditions in India, and compared India to Iran and the Ottoman empire. Some of these travellers, like the Italian doctor Manucci, never returned to Europe, and settled down in India.
