Here, together with his son GIACOMO VEGEZZI, born in his wife's first marriage, he built some of the most important organs in Turin and Piedmont Region
In the meantime, in Centallo, a small town close to Cuneo in South Piedmont, there was another firm manufacturing organs which had been founded in 1824 by CARLO VITTINO the Cuneo Cathedral organist. The high quality of craftsmanship and that of his sons VITTORIO, FRANCESCO and ANNETTA, is still visible in the many organs today played in the region.
ANNETTA VITTINO united the two firms VITTINO and VEGEZZI BOSSI by marrying GIACOMO VEGEZZI BOSSI.
The two houses started a period of thorough cooperation which culminated in 1884 with the gold medal for particular merits awarded at the Italian General Exposition.

FRANCESCO I° VEGEZZI BOSSI, GIACOMO's son and brother of CARLO, definitely moved the firm to Centallo in 1908 and succeeded in following the new vogues of organ building, which where springing from the reformatory movements and from the technical and cultural needs by adopting the new international standards.
Many instruments were built in that period and sold in Italy and abroad: Switzerland, France, Israel, South America.
Amongst the most famous can be mentioned those for Cuneo and Saluzzo Cathedrals, for the church of "La Madonna degli Angeli" in Turin, for the church of "San Pietro" in Mondovì, for the Conservatory of Liege in Belgium and for the "Accademia Chigiana" in Siena.
Between and immediately after the two world wars the business had a difficult period but finally CARLO II° VEGEZZI BOSSI succeeded in increasing the production for the Italian and foreign markets using the innovative electric transmission.
 

Francesco Vegezzi Bossi

His son, FRANCESCO VEGEZZI BOSSI was a worthy member of the dinasty and he increasingly studied the electric transmission and in particular the new applications of electronics. He also revised the mechanical transmission since it was revided by the new vogues of craftsmanship both for restoration of the old organs and for the building of the new ones.
Unfortunately he couldn't finish his studies because he suddenly died in 1984. But the tradition is still preserved and continued by his son ENRICO VEGEZZI BOSSI who is passionately working with the aid of BARTOLOMEO BRONDINO, a company partner and a highly skilled technician, to give a bright future to the most beautiful unmatched and unmatchable musical instrument: "the organ".
