Riese, in the northeast of Italy, was the birthplace of the future saint,
Pope Pius X. The Italian saint was pontiff at the beginning of the 20th century. In honor of his papacy his townspeople renamed their town Riese Pio X. While the full name could be an option among the more daring, a simple Riese is a lovely option that is a different take on the more common name, Reese.
