Riccardi was born on 4 September 1983 in Borgo Maggiore, San Marino.[2] He attended the University of Urbino in Italy, graduating with a degree in legal sciences.[3] He is employed in the private sector as a clerk.[2][3] He is passionate about sports and competed in football and padel.[3] Riccardi competed several years in the San Marino's top football division, Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio, beginning his career with S.S. Cosmos in 2008.[4][5]
A defender, Riccardi appeared in four matches for Cosmos in the 2009–10 season.[5] He also split the season with SP La Fiorita, for which he played six matches.[5] He was a member of SS Folgore Falciano Calcio from 2010 to 2013, playing in 40 matches while scoring two goals.[5] He started the 2013–14 season with AC Libertas, scoring one goal while making seven appearances, before returning to Folgore for the end of the season, helping them be the runner-ups of the league.[5] Riccardi concluded his career with AC Virtus from 2014 to 2016, for which he made 11 appearances.[5] He finished his career in the Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio having made 71 appearances, scoring three goals.[5]
Riccardi began his political career in 2010, being elected to the Serravalle council, where he served two terms.[6] In 2016, he was elected to San Marino's parliament, the Grand and General Council, as a member of the Party of Socialists and Democrats (PSD).[6] He was sworn in to the parliament during the time that his father, Marino Riccardi, was serving as Captain Regent (dual head of state).[3] He was appointed the leader of PSD, but later announced that he was leaving the party in 2018, forming a new party, Riforme e Sviluppo (RES), along with several others who had left the PSD.[6][7]
After being re-elected in 2019, Riccardi helped form the Libera San Marino (Libera) party in 2020, which he became president of.[6] In the Grand and General Council, he became a member of the foreign affairs, territorial policies and Council of XII commissions.[3] His party formed an alliance with the Socialist Party (PS) for the 2024 general elections, and later that year, he was elected one of two Captains Regent (with Francesca Civerchia) for the six month term starting in October 2024.[3]
