Three years after Marco returned to Venice, he commanded a galley in a war against the rival city of Genoa. He was captured during the fight and spent a year in a Genoese prison - where one of his fellow-prisoners was a writer of romances named Rustichello of Pisa.
The book 'The Description of the World' or "The Travels of Marco Polo" was later written and became a bestseller.
In the summer of 1299 a peace was concluded between Venice and Genoa, and after a year of captivity, Marco Polo was released from the prison and returned to Venice. He was married to Donata Badoer and had three daughters. He remained in Venice until his death in 1324, around the age of 70
