Marco Polo (September 15 1254 – January 9 1324 at earliest but no later than June 1325 ) was a Venetian trader and explorer who gained fame for his worldwide travels, recorded in the book Il Milione ("The Million" or The Travels of Marco Polo).
Polo, together with his father Niccolò and his uncle Maffeo, was one of the first Westerners to travel the Silk Road to China (which he called Cathay, after the Khitan) and visit the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan (grandson of Genghis Khan).
Macro Polo was a television miniseries originally broadcast by NBC in 1982. It starred Ken Marshall as Marco Polo, the 14th-century Venetian explorer. The series also featured cameo performances by Denholm Elliott, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, Leonard Nimoy, and others.
Marco "Polo" Bruno is a Canadian hip hop producer. Born in Toronto, he moved to New York City in the early 2000's to pursue a career in hip hop production, and has since went on to become one of the most sought-after underground producers on the US East Coast.
With the exception of one track, Marco Polo produced Pumpkinhead's Orange Moon Over Brooklyn in 2005, and shortly after contributed tracks to Masta Ace's A Long Hot Summer, Sadat X's Black October, and various Boot Camp Clik projects. His debut album, Port Authority, was released through Rawkus Records and featured guest raps from Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, Buckshot, Wordsworth, O.C., Kardinal Offishall, Large Professor and Sadat X
