00:00The year 1270. In those days, two initials fluttered the hearts of the young patrician
00:14women of Venice and brought deep furrows to the foreheads of their rich, if somewhat decrepit,
00:20husbands. I'll miss your embraces and your lips pressed to mine. Yours, MP. MP? Whose lips? Not
00:27mine. Of all the presumption. Now, who do we know called MP? Not long afterwards, the same initials
00:35suddenly appear in the Near East. What are they doing to him? Torturing him to death. He was
00:41caught inside the harem. Torturing him? They should give him a medal. And still later, we find them in
00:49the Far East, where a fabulous adventure had its beginning. The most fabulous adventure a human
00:54being has ever lived through. He used his sword like a god of war. Tall, slender, always smiling
01:09his blue eyes. A real soldier. Bold, fearless, and generous. Everywhere he went, he left behind
01:19the indelible mark of his formidable spirit of adventure. Wherever he went, he left behind the
01:27indelible mark of his insatiable quest for love. You know, in Venice, when we want to tell a girl
01:33with our words that we love her, we send her a bouquet of roses. Bouquet, you say? Bouquet. It
01:40means a bunch of roses, and that's what you are. You're the spring, and everything blossoms when
01:46it's near you.
01:46Marco Polo, the man who introduced a coin into China
02:16difficult to counterfeit, the kiss. And with a kiss, Marco Polo acquired some of the most precious
02:24gems of the Orient. For a kiss, he risks admitting to the most atrocious tortures also of the
02:31Orient. But the fabulous journey continues amid love affairs and battles won and lost. The
02:39traveler with the most fertile imagination of all times has written for us the story of a fabulous
02:44adventure. Marco Polo, the great adventure of an Italian in China.
