What the sources establish

Britannica’s travel and season notes and Verdiani chronology place cholera-scare interruptions among the epidemic travel constraints affecting mid-1860s Italian theatrical life around Verdi’s working years.

Britannica and Istituto Verdiani season contexts independently note epidemic/cholera disruptions in nineteenth-century Italian theatre travel relevant to Verdi’s working life.

Established: 1860s cholera-scare constraint climate in the working biography file. Not established: that Verdi personally caught cholera.

Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Year-level epidemic season; not a personal case report.
