Villetta Cemetery, Neoclassical cemetery in Parma, Italy.
The cemetery features an octagonal layout with 156 arcades containing chapels for prominent families and religious organizations within a square enclosure.
Marie Louise of Austria established this burial ground between 1816 and 1847, with the first interments occurring during the 1818 typhus epidemic.
The cemetery holds the remains of notable Italian figures, including violinist Niccolò Paganini and composer Ildebrando Pizzetti in decorated memorial structures.
The cemetery administration operates at Viale Villetta 31/A in Parma, offering visitor services through phone contact at +39 0521 964042.
Young violinists frequently perform near Paganini's tomb, continuing a musical tradition that connects present-day musicians with the legendary virtuoso.
