Marco Polo was not an orphan.

His mother died when he was young and he was raised by an aunt and uncle. His father had been traveling in the far east since before he was born and returned when Marco was 15. Two years later, Marco set off with his father, Niccolo Polo, and uncle, Mafffeo Polo, on the 24 year journey that Marco documented in his book.
