1302. MARCO Polo of Cannareggio, see vol. i. pp. 64-67. (The Church
of S. Geremia stands on the canal called Cannareggio.)
Already in 1224, we find a Marco Polo of S. Geremia and Cannareggio.
(See Liber Plegiorum, published with Archivio Veneto, 1872 pp.
32, 36).
1319. (Bianca, widow of GIOVANNI Polo?)[1]
1332. 24th March. Concession, apparently of some privilege in connection
with the State Lake in San Basilio, to DONATO and HERMORAO
(= Hermolaus or Almoro) Paulo (Document partially illegible).[2]
1333. 23rd October. Will of Marchesina Corner, wife of Marino Gradenigo of
S. Apollinare, who chooses for her executors "my mother Dona
Fiordelisa Cornaro, and my uncle (Barba) Ser Marco Polo."[3]
Another extract apparently of the same will mentions "mia cusina
MARIA Polo," and "mio cusin MARCO Polo" three times.[4]
1349. MARINO Polo and Brothers.[5]
1348. About this time died NICOLO Polo of S. Geremia,[6] who seems to have
been a Member of the Great Council.[7] He had a brother MARCO, and
this Marco had a daughter AGNESINA. Nicolo also leaves a sister
BARBARA (a nun), a son GIOVANNINO (apparently illegitimate[7]), of
age in 1351,[6] a nephew GHERARDO, and a niece FILIPPA,[6] Abbess
of Sta. Catarina in Mazzorbo.
The executors of Nicolo are GIOVANNI and DONATO Polo.[6] We have not
their relationship stated.
