; ;Casertano, L.; Retired Professor Università di Napoli "Federico II", Napoli, ItalyI present here a commemoration of the scientific life of Luigi Palmieri, II Director of the Osservatorio Vesuviano. His research on both volcanic and tectonic phenomena was supported by his development of the first electromagnetic seismograph, which he also built in a "portable" version.
