Salvatore Riccobono (January 31, 1864 in San Giuseppe Jato – April 1958 in Rome) was an influential Italian Roman law scholar.
[5] When Riccobono returned to Italy in 1893, he gained from his association with another eminent Roman law scholar, Vittorio Scialoja, who helped him find a university position there.
Dr. Riccobono also taught history and Roman law at the Pontifical Lateran Institute in Rome until he retired completely at the end of 1955.
Many of the best regarded Roman law scholars in America, as well as guests from foreign countries, presented papers at the Seminar, and Riccobono himself remained in contact with it as he could for decades.
[13] In 1924, Riccobono was awarded a Doctor Honoris Causa of Civil Law by Oxford University, and he was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Italy in 1932.
