Life
Palmeri came from a branch of the Palmeri family. The house where he was born can be seen in Via Garibaldi in Termini Imerese. His father Vincenzo was a respected agronomist. He was a highly gifted child, at the age of 10 he was already translating classical Latin scripts. Then he devoted himself to mathematics and the natural sciences . Palmeri studied agricultural economics in Palermo with Paolo Balsamo and accepted his love of the country. At the request of his father, he studied law at the Università degli Studi di Catania and turned back to economics after completing his studies. At the age of 20, Palmeri was accepted into the Accademia Euracea under the pseudonym Siralgo Nisifaro .
An avid supporter of the Sicilian Constitution of 1812, Palmeri was elected to the Palermo Parliament in 1812, 1813 and 1814 . In 1816, Palmeri suffered a sudden hearing loss , forcing him to restrain himself from his activities. After a hiatus, he became involved in the revolution of 1820. The agricultural economist advanced the island's economy by introducing agricultural reforms and opening the ports to free trade. After that he withdrew from public office due to failures and went back to his economic studies. In 1826 the work Considerazioni sulla dichiarazione del Parlamento di Napoli che annullò la convenzione dei 5th ottobre 1820 was created by the tenente generale Pepe e il principe Paternò . Other writings followed such as Saggio delle cause sui remedi delle angustie agrarie della Sicilia and Somma della Storia di Sicilia . Some of his works were only published after his death.
