Fiorentina, last season's runner-up, won 4-1 on penalties after the match ended 2-2 on Wednesday and will next face either champion Inter Milan — in what would be a repeat of the final — or Bologna.
Parma was one of only two Serie B teams left in the competition but was firmly in control at halftime following goals from Adrian Bernabé and Ange-Yoan Bonny within two minutes of each other.
Fiorentina was jeered off the field at the interval and coach Vincenzo Italiano made four changes for the second half.
