Giuseppe Piazzi, the Italian astronomer best known for discovering the first asteroid, Ceres, died on July 22, 1848. He passed away in Palermo, Italy, after suffering from a prolonged illness. His contributions to astronomy, particularly in celestial mechanics and the development of astrometry, left a lasting legacy despite his relatively quiet later years.
