Organ history in Bergamo from the fourteenth century to twentieth century

by Giosuè Berbenni

(translated by Denise Lamera)

The history of pipe organs in Bergamo from century XIV to century XX is to be written. Specific essays lack. Nobody is to be accused for that, because of the specificity and the difficulty of the matter. Only during the last decades some interest is being noticed with the pubblication of simple news about organ and organ builders; very few news, but enought to give important insides on this aspect of the Art History, undoubtely charming, but yet to much hidden.

This essay wants to give an initial and essential assestment to the problem of the organ history in Bergamo: the matter deserves the attention of the historical researchers and the further development of the specialist.

The field of examination is focused to the area of Bergamo, mainly related to ecclesiastic giurisdition.
