Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The explorer Marco Polo was responsible for bringing the knowledge of woodblock printing from China to Italy. The Silk Road allowed Chinese paper to travel to Europe in the eleventh century. Manuscripts could be created thanks to paper, which allowed scribes to write them with precision. Later, in 1295, after spending many years exploring China, the great explorer Marco Polo made his way back to Italy. Woodblock printing was already a practise in China. These facts were carried back by Marco Polo. With the invention of woodblock printing, the Italians now started publishing books, and soon other European countries followed suit.
