Conselice
Northern Italian town of about 5,000 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.
Conselice is the birthplace of the poet and revolutionary Eleutraio Foresti, later a Professor at Columbia University in New York.
