Luigi Palmieri

Luigi Palmieri (1807-1896) was an Italian physicist and meteorologist known for his pioneering work in the field of seismology and volcanology. He was a professor at the University of Naples and made significant contributions to the study of earthuakes and volcanic eruptions. Palmieri's innovative use of scientific instruments, such as the seismograph and electrometer, revolutionized the monitoring of seismic activity and volcanic phenomena. His research laid the foundation for modern seismology and advanced our understanding of Earth's geological processes.
