Francesco Cilea in Palmi
Italian opera composer Francesco Cilea was born in Palmi, Calabria. He left his hometown for his studies in Naples. His greatest successes were in the north where he composed and premiered his operas “Adriana Lecouvrer” and “L’Arlesiana”.
In his honor, the municipality of Palmi built an imposing mausoleum in 1962, inside it houses a crypt decorated with mosaics, where the remains of the artist and his wife are kept.
