Turin’s chocolate industry  is intertwined with two important Waldensian families, the Talmones and the Caffarels. The grave listed as number 1 was purchased in 1867 by Isidore Caffarel’s six children: with his brother Pierre Paul, he was the heir of the Turin company of the same name, known for having invented the Gianduiotto (an ingot shaped chocolate union between chocolate and Piedmont hazelnuts

The Caffarel family already owned a plot where Paul Caffarel and Madeleine Vola, Isidore and Pierre Paul’s parents, were buried.

The purchase of the new plot was intended to create a family grave where the children who had died in infancy that Isidore had had from his first wife, Madeleine Geymonat would also be moved to, along with those from his second wife and niece, Aurélie Caffarel.
Pietro Giolitti was appointed to construct the grave and he managed to complete the work in the autumn of 1867, having overcome a number of bureaucratic hurdles.

Today, the burial place has a trefoil marble plaque bearing  the inscription: Isidore Caffarel / décedé le 20 juin 1867 / à l’age de 50 ans / puor [sic] lui / et pour sa famille (Isidore Caffarel – died on June the 20th 1867 aged 50, for him and for his family).
