It's also the (disputed) home of the Polo family, whose legendary Marco's (even more disputed) biographical journey kick-started many stories, legends and sometimes surviving presumptions on the East, the the Mongol empire of Kublai Khan which they visited. Next over the Balkans, focusing on surviving tracts of the Roman army road Via Egnatia in Albania, to the immensely rich metropolis Constantinople, now Istanbul, still a key pin in intercontinental trade.
