'O senseless care of the mortals' <br />Dante <br /> <br />In 1298, Marco Polo rotted in the gaols of Genoa. <br />He was Venetian seaman and was taken prisoner in the battle of Curzola. <br />He met the writer Rustichello da Pisa. <br />They both worked together for a book. <br />The courses were changing, as Lorenzo Canestro taught us. <br />The big harbors of India would lay down the law, <br />The little maritime republics should accept the goods. <br />Not found colonies. Be a base.<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aal-the-origins-india/
