Sezon 2

In this episode we will retrace Marco Polo's journey, the journey he recounted in his famous book Il Milione. 15 thousand kilometers from Venice to Beijing, crossing deserts, steppes and very high mountains and back. We will understand what it meant to travel at that time in difficult territories, without roads, without the possibility of aid and resources, crossing much of the Middle East, crossing the Himalayas, to finally arrive in China.

Our story begins in Vinci, not far from Florence, on April 15, 1452. It is the mid-1400s, a time of great intellectual fervor in Tuscany, Florence, Siena, Pisa, but also elsewhere in Italy. But Leonardo does not know all this, he lives in Vinci and attends the abacus school.
