Niccolò Paganini
Memorials and other tributes

In 1904 the Genoa Conservatory was renamed the "Conservatorio Niccolò Paganini" in honor of the composer. The conservatory is also host to the Paganini Competition (Premio Paganini); an international violin competition created in 1954.

In 1972 the State of Italy purchased a large collection of Niccolò Paganini manuscripts from the W. Heyer Library of Cologne. They are housed at the Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome.

In 1982 the city of Genoa commissioned a thematic catalogue of music by Paganini, edited by Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento, hence the abbreviation "MS" assigned to his catalogued works.

A minor planet 2859 Paganini discovered in 1978 by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Chernykh is named after him.
