Who am I?

  
September 15, 1254 – January 8–9, 1324) I was a Venetian  merchant traveler whose travels are recorded in  (Book of the Marvels of the World, also known as The Travels of Marco Polo, c. 1300), a book that introduced Europeans to Central Asia and China.

I learned the mercantile trade from my father and uncle,Niccolo and Maffeo, who traveled through Asia, and met Kublai Khan.In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Me for the first time. The three of us 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. I was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married, and had three children. I died in 1324 and was buried in the church of San Lorenzo in Venice.
