Marco Polo, Italian merchant, explorer, and writer (September 15, 1254 – January 8-9, 1324) was born in in Venice, capital of the Venetian Republic. His travels are recorded in Livres Des Merveilles Du Monde (Book of the Marvels of the World, also known as The Travels of Marco Polo, c. 1300), a book that described to Europeans the wealth and great size of China, its capital Peking, and other Asian cities and countries. He learned the mercantile trade from his father and his uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo, who travelled through Asia and met Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned and dictated his stories to a cellmate. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married, and had three children. Marco Polo was not the first European to reach China, but he was the first to leave a detailed chronicle of his experience. This book inspired Christopher Columbus and many other travellers. There is a substantial literature based on Polo's writings; he also influenced European cartography, leading to the introduction of the Fra Mauro map, a map of the world made around 1450 by the Italian cartographer Fra Mauro, which is considered the greatest memorial of medieval cartography. Marco Polo died in the Republic of Venice aged 69; due to the Venetian law stating that the day ends at sunset, the exact date of Marco Polo's death cannot be determined, but according to some scholars it was between the sunsets of January 8 and January 9, 1324. He was buried in the church of San Lorenzo in Venice.
