Paolo Boccone
Paolo Silvio Boccone (1633-1704) was a Sicilian botanist whose interest in plants had been sparked by a visit to the botanical gardens (l'Orto Botanico) founded in Messina by the Roman doctor Pietro Castelli, who became his instructor. Born in Palermo, he traveled across Sicily, Corsica, Paris, and London and later became a lecturer in Padua.
