The Antonio de Noli Academic Society is an international, non-profit research organization founded in 2009 at Serra Riccò (Province of Genoa, Italy) by descendants of the Genoese navigator Antonio de Noli —the first discoverer of Cape Verde Islands and the first European Colonial Governor in Sub-Saharan Africa. The initiative was further supported in 2010 by the Embassy of the Republic of Cape Verde to Italy, and by the City Councils of Noli (Savona) and Serra Riccò (Genova). The aims of the international research society were based on an interdisciplinary scope of "biographical, geographic-historical, naval-historical, military-historical, archaeological, genealogical, social-anthropological, and sociological studies around the discoveries of Antonio de Noli – the Genoese navigator and discoverer of Cape Verde Islands - and the societies and institutions which ensued in the aftermath of the discoveries in which he participated".〔http://adenoli.wordpress.com/〕 The Antonio de Noli Academic Society was officially inaugurated in the City of Serra Riccò in June 2010 in a public ceremony〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfkMjzNAbc0〕 led by representatives of the Province of Genoa, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cape Verde to Italy Dr Jose Eduardo Barbosa, the Mayor of Serra Riccò, Dott. Andrea Torre, the founder and president of the society Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli, and the Cultural Adviser of Serra Riccò Tomaso Richini.
