Teatro Verdi article edits - translated from Teatro Verdi (Firenze)

Origins
Teatro Verdi, originally called Teatro Pagliano, assumed this name in 1901. It is located on the former site of the Stinche Prison. In August 1833, the prison building was sold by grand-ducal decree to Giovacchino Faldi, Cosimo Canovetti, Giuseppe Galletti, and Michele Massai. They transformed it into the current housing block between 1834 and 1839. The resulting structure was four stories tall, with apartments, shops, an equestrian area, and a room for the Philharmonic Society on the first floor.

Teatro Pagliano
Around 1850, a large theater was built, under the direction of architect Telemaco Buonaiuti and funded by Girolamo Pagliano, a former baritone noted for his famous syrup that promised long life, and who was also responsible for starting the corner pharmacy, Selva Pharmacy (as of 1934). The theater was oval-shaped and between the orchestra and its six dais (?) could fit about 4,000 people. Painters Luigi Dell'Era and Cesare Maffei painted the sets, while the curtain, which depicts La disfida di Barlette, was painted by Bandinelli.

After opening on June 12, 1853, the theater was officially inaugurated on September 10, 1854, with the Verdi opera Rigoletto, at that time called Il Viscardello. Even though the opera was not a success, the new theater was highly appreciated, and its seasons were characterized by lyrical and dramatic shows presented by companies of great renown.

Openwrapping
Openwrapping is the practice by education and technology companies of packaging open educational resources (OER) with value-added services, such as adaptive technology or subject matter expertise, and distributing them for a per student or per course access fee.

The term openwrapping was coined by Scott Robison in 2017.

Openwrapping is a recognized commercial model that has developed as a result of the open education movement. Many of the largest traditional publishing companies have implemented services under this model.

Lumen Learning provides training, technical support, hosting, and other services build around OER. They also dedicate a portion of their revenue to creating new OER and maintaining and improving existing OER.
