Marco Polo was an Italian explorer and merchant who was born on 15th September 1254.

Although he was not the first person to travel to China, he was the first one to write about them and that is one reason why his travels were so important.

He wrote vivid descriptions of what he saw and discovered in China.

After his travel to China, where he lived for almost 20 years, he brought the idea of paper money. It is said that he also introduced the pasta to Italy. He brought a lot of spices and silk.

Marco Polo came to know the vast regions of China and the many achievements of Chinese civilization, many of which were more advanced than European contemporaries.

Legend has it that Marco Polo introduced in Italy some products from China, including ice cream, piñata and pasta, especially spaghetti. However, this legend is very questioned. For example, there is evidence that pasta was known in Greece and Italy since ancient times. In Arabic Spain there are written references about noodles (called aletría) since the 12th century.
