First version (1906): Unveiled on January 27, 1906, exactly five years after Verdi's death. At that time, Trieste was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Carrara marble statue was created by the sculptor Alessandro Laforêt.
Destruction & Symbolism: The original statue was destroyed in 1915 by pro-Austrian forces – not because of Verdi's music, but because of the inscription "VERDI," which was considered a patriotic acronym for "Vittorio Emanuele Re D'Italia." A subtle act of Italian national pride in the heart of Habsburg territory.
