CONSELICE


'Conselice' is a Northern Italian town of about 10,000 people located in the Po River Valley and part of the Ravenna province. Originally it was a Roman harbor (lat. Caput Silicis, literally "At the end of Via Silicis") important for the trade with Spina, an ancient etruscan city, and located at the end of Via Selice, a Roman paved road intersecting the Via Emilia. The first written document mentioning the city as the ''portus de capite selcis'' dates back to 1084 CE [1].
Conselice is the birthplace of the poet and revolutionary Eleuterio Felice Foresti, later a Professor at Columbia University and University of the City of New York (1842), and USA consular general in Genoa (1856)[2] [3].
