The official name , “Liceo Ginnasio Celio” was granted by the
king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II on the 29th September 1867,
as a sign of gratitude to Ludovico Ricchieri. This man was
called the “Celio” of Rovigo. He had lived between the XV and
XVI century. He was very famous for his extensive competence
in humanistic and historical studies. The “Liceo Celio” has
