The linked authority identifier is Q277900. VIAF identifies the subject as 242781116. Authority coordinates are 41.917, 15.017. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
