Angelo Celli's birthplace

This house, located in Cagli (Via Angelo Celli, 16) in the province of Pesaro-Urbino in Marche, is Angelo Celli's birthplace.

Angelo Celli, the youngest child of Cristoforo Celli and Teresa Amatori¹, was born on 25th march 1857 and lived here with his family for nineteen years, until he moved to Rome.

The house is situated in a narrow street in Cagli's old town centre which was named after him in 1920 as a sign of gratitude and regard.

In 1920, an epigraph dedicated to him was laid on the facade of the building by Carlo Carganico² (president of the executive honorofic committee) which says:

“XXV MARZO MDCCCLVII / II NOVEMBRE MCMXIV / QUI NACQUE IL SOMMO IGIENISTA / ANGELO CELLI / CHE DELLA SCIENZA ATTINSE LE VETTE PIU' ALTE / E I CONQUISTATI SEGRETI / A DIFFONDERE PER GLI UMILI ASSIDUAMENTE OPERO' / XII SETTEMBRE MCMXX”
