In 1845, shortly before receiving civil and political rights,  Waldensians were granted the right to bury their dead in a  cemetery dedicated to the Protestant community. Many families of the Turin Protestant community purchased a burial plot, commissioning funerary headstones and monuments, some of which by sculptors who were members of the community, as was the case of Vincenzo Morglia, and of  Turin and national sculptors. The Non-Catholic cemetery was used both by the Waldensian community and for  English citizens, mostly of whom involved in the railway building in Piedmont 1850’s, along with Russians and Prussians, from embassies in Turin.
Among them are the young Michel Pellegrin, who fell in the battle of Novara in the midst of the Risorgimento, Edoardo Bosio, one of the founders of the Turin Football & Cricket Club, families of entrepreneurs  including the Caffarels and the Talmones, as well as many men and women remembered by delicate carved images and moving epitaphs, such as the young Carolina Bass, née Castelmur "Sciolta dall’umano velo, marito t’aspetto in cielo" (Freed of my human veil, husband I await you in Heaven).
Two celebrities from the theatre world also rest in the Non-Catholic: Gustavo Modena, the Italian actor and patriot and Emilie Högqvist,  the Swedish actress. There is a small plot with Commonwealth war graves,  where sixteen soldiers who died during World War 1 are buried in addition to the family graves.
