Raffaele Borea Ricci d'Olmo was an Italian naval officer with the rank of vice admiral (viceammiraglio). He was the first Italian governor of Tripolitania,[1] then still counter admiral (contrammiraglio), although he de facto ruled only the city of Tripoli, during the first days of the Italian invasion of the colony from October 5 to 13, 1911. When Tripoli was attacked later in October, Borea Ricci declared martial law.[2]
