# Verdi sits as deputy for Borgo San Donnino in the 1861 Parliament as a completed political office of limited attendance

Date: 1861

## The fact

Britannica and later Chamber heritage print 1861 as [Verdi](/people/giuseppe-verdi)’s election to the first [Italian Parliament](/organizations/italian-parliament) for Borgo San Donnino, associated with Cavour’s camp. Sparse attendance is named in lives and keeps contribution modest. This is not Va pensiero as a rising.

It is one event.

## Context

Shared work with the new kingdom’s electorate and Cavour. A composer-deputy is a democratic-capacity path of medium size, not a legislative author of unification statutes.

Giuseppe Verdi’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Lived 1813–1901. Impresarios, librettists, censors, khedival officers, and Ricordi share the public file. Va pensiero’s later nationalist reception is not stored as his revolutionary act. Complex contribution is required.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and Camera later heritage independently locate the 1861 mandate.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Giuseppe Verdi (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giuseppe-Verdi; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

A completed parliamentary seat is a democratic-participation path. It is not a unique statute series in his hand.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1861 deputy heading. Not established: that he drafted major constitutional clauses.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Giuseppe Verdi.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `democratic-resilience` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Keep 1861 distinct from the 1874 Senate nomination. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Giuseppe Verdi.
