The Republic of Genoa defeated Venice in the documented Battle of Curzola off the coast of KorÃâÃÂula in 1298 and a galley commander, Marco Polo, was taken prisoner by the victors to eventually spend his time in a Genoese prison writing of his travels. However, some Italian scholars believe that he may have been captured in a minor clash near Ayas. |
