Donata Badoer (c. 1280 – between 1333 and 1336) was an Italian noblewoman from the Republic of Venice. She is best known as the wife of Marco Polo.[2][3]
Belonging to the Venetian patrician family of Badoer, she was the daughter of merchant Vitale Badoer. In 1300, she married Marco Polo, the Venetian explorer, son of Niccolò Polo.[3] From the union three daughters were born: Fantina, Belella and Moreta Polo.[2][4]
