English organi a canne TORRI
Who we are

The firm Bottega Artigiana Organi Torri in Cesano Boscone builds pipes organs with entirely mechanical action, according to aesthetical and sound canons typical of the classic Italian organ of the XV-XVII centuries. The firm takes inspiration from famous organ builders of the past like the Antegnati, Giovanni da Prato, Cristoforo Valvassori, Gian Battista Facchetti, Baldassarre Malamini and others.
The passion for and the deep knowledge of the classic Italian organ by Bottega Artigiana Organi Torri is the result of 40 years of experience acquired during philological restoration of ancient organs both on behalf of the Italian Ministero dei Beni Artistici e Culturali (Ministry for Art and Culture) and on behalf of important public and private Italian and foreign cultural Foundations and Institutions.
