The latest episode of “Nuova York: Hidden in Plain Sight”, which is the sixth in the series, tells the story of Giuseppe Verdi, the great Italian opera composer, and his statue in Piazza Verdi (Verdi Square) in Manhattan. Stefano Albertini from NYU, recounts Verdi’s story and talks about his legacy – not just the musical one – and the beauty of Piazza Verdi’s garden, which the composer himself, a farmer at heart, would have greatly appreciated.
The statue is located in a park bounded by 72nd Street on the south, 73rd Street on the north, Broadway on the west, and Amsterdam Avenue on the east. Giuseppe Verdi never set foot in the US but he was already very popular here during his lifetime.
