In 1295, Marco Polo was captured in battle by Venice’s archrival Genoa, and met the Arthurian adventure writer Rustichello of Pisa. While they were in prison they both discussed about all the things they've seen in their travels, like all the trade they witnessed and the great ideas other cultures had.
