Conselice

Conselice (Romagnol: Cunsëls) is a town and comune of about 10,000 people located in the Po River Valley, part of the province of Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

Originally it was a Roman harbor (known in Latin as 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 Sicilis, a Roman paved road intersecting the Via Emilia.

[4] From 1395 to 1598 it was ruled by the House of Este, and subsequently was part of the Papal States until the unification of Italy in 1861.

Conselice borders with the municipalities of Alfonsine, Argenta (FE), Imola (BO), Lugo and Massa Lombarda.

The Italian partisan Ines Bedeschi, Gold Medal of Honor for Military Valor, and killed by the Nazis during the patriotic war 1943–45, was also born in Conselice in 1911.
