Did Verdi write grand opera in Italian?

Giuseppe Verdi is primarily known for his operas, which are often classified as Italian opera rather than grand opera, a style more associated with French composers like Meyerbeer and Gounod. Verdi's works, characterized by their emotional intensity and rich melodies, typically follow the Italian operatic tradition. His major operas, such as "La Traviata" and "Aida," reflect this style, focusing on strong character-driven narratives rather than the spectacle often found in grand opera. So, while Verdi's operas are monumental in their own right, they do not fit the mold of grand opera in the French sense.
