# The Messa da Requiem for Manzoni is given in Milan on 22 May 1874 as a completed civic memorial Date: 1874 ## The fact Britannica and Milan house histories print 22 May 1874 as the first performance of the Requiem commemorating Alessandro Manzoni. Shared singers, church, and city officers remain named. It is not an opera night and not a unique piety coefficient. It is one event. ## Context Manzoni’s death is the occasion, not [Verdi](/people/giuseppe-verdi)’s autograph of I promessi sposi. A public mass for a national novelist is a cohesion path. 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 La Scala independently describe the 1874 Requiem. Official or archival record: Teatro alla Scala — house heritage of Verdi premieres (https://www.teatroallascala.org/en/; Teatro alla Scala). ## Significance A completed civic Requiem is a cohesion-and-memory path. It is not a later recording industry. ## What is established and what is not Established: 22 May 1874 Milan performance. Not established: unique later-nationalism coefficients from the mass. 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 `social-cohesion` 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 1874 distinct from the Senate nomination the same year. 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. ## People - Giuseppe Verdi: https://factrail.ai/people/giuseppe-verdi ## Drivers - Social Cohesion: https://factrail.ai/drivers/social-cohesion ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giuseppe-Verdi - https://www.teatroallascala.org/en/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/gv-requiem-1874
