Add a review about the Verdi Theater in Florence

The Teatro Verdi Theater in Florence counts its history from 1854 .

During its existence, the Verdi Theater experienced several large-scale reconstructions that were not all related to the advanced age of the building . So, in the theater underwent serious repairs after a fire in 1865 ., it was necessary to return it to life and after the end of the First World War . "Its business" was made and the major flood that fell on Florence in 1966 .

One can not hide the fact that Verdi's Verdi's career was started by the brilliant Enrico Caruso.
