Alfredo Cappellini
Alfredo Cappellini was a Livornese captain of the Italian Royal Navy who died in the Battle of Lissa, during the Third Italian War of Independence (yes, we had four of those!). The local “Istituto Tecnico Nautico” (Nautical Technical Institute) is named after him.

Nice boat, good for rivers too!
Great! I will enjoy following on Facebook as well as continuing to visit your blog.
A nice honor, the naming.
The students did a great job.
