Giovanni Ricci (29 March 1813 in Genoa – 5 October 1892 in Oviglio) was an Italian naval captain and politician.
Family background
Giovanni Ricci belonged to the noble Genoese house of the Marquises Ricci; his brothers were the Marquis Vincenzo Ricci, who served as a minister in several governments of the Kingdom of Sardinia: diplomat and senator Alberto Ricci; and General Giuseppe Ricci, Deputy for La Spezia.[1]
He graduated from the naval school in 1828 and rose through the ranks until he became Navy officer until he reached the rank of captain in 1855. He retired from the navy in 1858.[1] He was elected deputy for Genoa first in the Chamber of Deputies of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and then the Chamber of the Kingdom of Italy.[2][3] He was appointed Minister of the Navy in the Farini government[4] on 8 December 1862, but resigned on 22 January 1863 and was replaced shortly afterwards by Orazio Di Negro.[5]
He was appointed to the Senate in 1873.[1][3]
