Cavallin Adagio e tarantella

Does anyone know for certain whether or not the Ricordi edition of this piece is the earliest one? I have an obviously modern printing of a Ricordi edition (which says Revised by Alamiro Giampieri) with a copyright notice that has no date, so I can't tell when it was originally published. The piece is by now PD, regardless of the notice, since Cavallini died in 1874.

I'm curious because our state (PMEA) and local County (BCMEA) organizations include the piece in their 3 year rotation, but require the Waln (Kjos) arrangement. "Arrangement" is an accurate descriptor - George Waln left a great deal of the music in the Ricordi/Giampieri and obviously later Southern/Hite editions on the cutting room floor. There are also a number of note alterations - not misprints, but I suppose Mr. Waln's "corrections" for notes he found somehow musically awkward. The metronome markings are also significantly different among the three editions - not so big a deal as the omissions and changed notes, but it would mean SOMEthing if Ricordi were the original edition.

So, I'm curious if the Ricordi/Giampieri is the closest we can come to a first edition or if there was an edition published even earlier that was supervised by Cavallini himself.
