Note: There is no mention of the daughter who was Marco Polo's wife, who was therefore perhaps already dead. But Beta, Marco Polo's second wife, whom ORLANDINI supposed to be a dalla Fontana, was certainly alive. Nor is there any mention of Agnesina and Cristina who in that case would have been this lady's grand-daughters. Therefore it may seem to be more likely that Marco Polo's first wife, Maria, was the daughter of Johannes and Catarina dalla Fontana, though proof of this is lacking.
5o. Will of Beta Polo (14 March 135°) 20 April 1346.
Index: Elisabeth vxoris Marci Polo — 174
Will (Copy in the Notary's Register—This is the ratification, dated 14 March 7350, by the Doge Andrea Dandulo of a will left incomplete owing to the sudden death of the Notary.):
