Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Santa Teresa di Gesù Bambino”, the useful work is to connect “church building in Verona, Italy” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3950111. Authority coordinates are 45.418, 10.987. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1901, 1904, 1905 and 1938.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
