Eighteenth-century organ

In the wooden choir loft, above the entrance door, there is an ancient organ, made in 1738 by Venanzio Fedeli, famous member of a prolific organ-making family from Serravalle of Chienti, in the Marche region. Today only seven instruments are left. The organ, a very good workmanship, has 19 front pipes, keyboard with 45 keys and a pedalboard with 15 keys; there are 9 registers with wooden spherical knob tie rods and hand-cranked pullers and it is equipped with a single lantern bellow with key- pedal bolt transmissions. Since the Napoleonic period the instrument has undergone numerous changes and after a last maintenance carried out in 1933, the instrument rapidly degraded and since the 60s it hasn't worked anymore. Disassembled in 2000 and restored with a three-year work, it is now back to its former glory and is used for concerts and sacred music in special ceremonies.
