About
The location of the famed violinist's last resting place after his body was forcibly buried without a Catholic funeral for many years.
Throughout his final years, Paganini’s health deteriorated, and after the casino he set up in Paris proved to be a failure, he fell into financial ruin. He soon left Paris for Marseilles, and then went onto Nice. His condition worsened quickly and the Bishop of Nice sent him a local parish priest to perform last rites, but Paganini refused thinking it was premature. A week later, he died at the age of 57 from internal hemorrhaging. His death happened so quickly, a priest could not be summoned in time to administer his last rites.
