Palm was in Italy between 1841-1851 where he resided in Rome. Shortly after his arrival in Rome on 7th August 1841, he took off on a two months long journey to Naples. He stayed in Naples for a week and then went to Capri where he remained for a fortnight. From Capri he took a boat to Sorrento and Castellammare. By early September he was back in Naples where he remained until the middle of the month. After a week in Pompeii he returned to Rome.
