Marco Polo was born in 1254 and he died in 1324 in Venice. He was an Italian explorer from Venice. His mother died after giving him birth. He started traveling around when he was 6 so he apparently left Venice when he was 6 years old. His aunt and uncle raised him. His father and uncle were both merchants from Venice. By the time Marco returned to Venice, Marco was 14 years old! He best known of these travelers was a Venetian by the name of Marco Polo. I The Polo’s looked like strangers to their fellow citizens. Marco Polo beat Christopher Columbus with his travels.
