Palma, Gaetan (Gaetano di Palma; 17?? - 18??)

Gaetan Palma (17?? - 18??), or Gaetano di Palma, was a military engineer and cartographer who served in the French army during the Napoleonic Wars. He is credited with just 2 known maps, both of important and of exceptional quality. These, covering Greece and the Illyrian Provinces, were issued in Trieste under the auspices of the French Grande Armée and Marshal August de Marmont (1774 - 1852), first Governor-General of the Illyrian Provinces. Little is known of his life, although some scholarship suggest he may have been of Italian origins
