The cathedral organ is located in a lovely decorated balcony on one side of the High Altar.
According to Wikipedia the organ was built in 1774 by the famous Neapolitan organbuilder Domenico Antonio Rossi. It has some construction characteristics which are quite unusual to 18th century Neapolitan organbuilding and which became the norm only several decades later.
Unfortunately the organ was modified substantially throughout its lifetime, especially in the first half of the 20th century.
Thank you very much for your looks, your comments and fav's. Always appreciated.
Did I ever tell you I play the organ in the church where I live in Italy? No Neapolitan was involved in building it, but it does date to nearly the same time! (1795).
Great shot of this beautiful decorated orgen. Our country has a few famous ones.
