The curious case of Marco Polo from Korcˇula: An example of invented tradition

---

In this paper the author deals with the claiming of Korcˇulan identity for Marco Polo as
an invented tradition. According to some, the combination of Korcˇulan archive data, Korcˇulan
family names and some historical facts give the island’s inhabitants the opportunity to question
Marco Polo’s ‘‘Venetian origin’’ and attempt to claim that he or his family originated on the island.
The author analyzes the attitudes and opinions of local residents concerning the issue and discusses
it in the framework of the concept of invented tradition. The contemporary use of Marco Polo
name as a symbol for Korcˇula Island reveals its great potential for tourism
