La Scala and Britannica print 9 February 1893 as Falstaff’s premiere, Boito after Shakespeare’s Merry Wives and Henry IV. Shared work with Boito and the house remains named. It is not Otello and not a unique gerontology of style.
Context
Carducci-era civic fame is reception, not this score.
Giuseppe Verdi’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.
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.

What the sources establish
Teatro alla Scala and Britannica independently describe the 1893 Falstaff premiere.
Established: 9 February 1893 premiere. Not established: unique later-festival coefficients.
Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Keep 1893 distinct from the rest-home opening years.
