The workshop in late 19th century

The firm, which has its origins since 1550, was born from the union of the Bergamo organ tradition of the Bossi (Vegezzi-Bossi) family with the one of the Vittino family from Centallo.
It is in this small town, in the Cuneo province, that the firm has had its seat, in the original workshop of its ancestors since 1824.

L'address of the workshop is:

Via Marconi n° 48 - 12044 - Centallo ( CN )

The building is divided into two sections, one of which is used exclusively for assembling and testing new instruments.
The other section includes specific areas for the carpentry, the assembly and the restoration of historical instruments, the storeroom and the pipe workshop, situated on the upper floor.
It is worthy of notice that in this last room are kept, and are still in use, the archives containing the dimensions of all the
pipes made by Vittino and the Vegezzi-Bossi Families through the years. Francesco I Vegezzi-Bossi , who was respon-
sible for the construction and tuning of the pipes in the Turin workshop towards the end of the last century, habitually
designed and personally built the minute precise equipment; we still keep many of these elements in perfect working
order available for use togheter with the relative designs of the executive project.
In particular the pipe workshop has kept intact all its structure dating back to the last century, including the crucible for
the melting of metal and the moulds for the pipes.
 

The production

Drawing its origin from the past centuries, the present activity of our workshop is naturally the result of adaptation to
the type of market which has emerged during the years.
From a period notably dedicated to the construction of new organs (1800 to early 1900), we hav passed to the time
which includes restoration work on the site, to be understood as a thorough recovery of the organ historical heritage.
