You beat me to it. Might I add...
Marco Polo was a trader and explorer from the Venetian Republic who
gained fame for his worldwide travels, recorded in the book Il Milione
("The Million" or The Travels of Marco Polo) also known as Oriente
Poliano (the Orient of the Polos) and the Description of the World.

I remembered he was famous for going through China, but couldn't remember
his nationality (for sure). So didn't say more. Duh, could have wikipedied it.
Thanks for the link.
I always thought he was a rather fascinating guy.
