Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera/Verdi image project results
These 38 image restorations (not counting some minor work) were created as part of Adam Cuerden's Verdi Image Project restoration drive in mid-2015 to early 2016, in honour of long-standing project member Viva-Verdi, who died earlier that year. They are on a subpage because it was slowing down the loading of the talk page.
Not every restoration is Verdi, of course, but Viva-Verdi never limited himself to Verdi either.

Other Verdi images
Better than nothing
Images that have problems, but are still better than what we had. Sometimes, there just isn't any decent source material.
-
Luisa Miller
Non-restorations
Images that are probably able to make featured picture status, but which needed little or no work on my part.
-
1895 Otello set design model.
