We all know that Marco Polo was one of the most prominent merchants, adventurers, and writers in history. Let's dive a little deeper into his life and adventures and what made him so popular.
Marco Polo was born in the year 1254 in Venice, the Republic of Venice, to the Polo family. He was a prolific adventurer who set out for his first journey at the young age of 17. Marco Polo's mother died when he was really young, and he was raised by his uncle and aunt. Marco's father and uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo Polo, were successful Venetian jewel merchants who set out on their voyage to Asia when Marco's mother was still pregnant. Marco finally got to meet his father at the age of 15 when they finally returned to Venice.
