What the sources establish
Teatro alla Scala and Britannica independently date the 1843 Lombardi premiere.
Established: 11 February 1843 premiere. Not established: that chorus lines uniquely caused 1848.
Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Keep later nationalist reception distinct from the 1843 night.
