Dear piporg-lers,

Last month I travelled to Bologna, Italy, for a conference.  I
managed to see a small number of pipe organs while there, but heard
none of them.  The huge unfinished Basilica on the Piazza Maggiore
has a pair of  16th century organs, but I was unable to find out
anything about the organs of the Cattedrale di San Pietro, Bologna. 
There appeared to be a large, presumably romantic organ spread around
the rear of the large apse behind the altar with no casework above
impost level.  There was also a modern instrument, my photo of which
can be seen on the News page of The Organ's website:
http://www.theorganmag.com/news.html (click for a larger version). 
Web searches have revealed nothing so far, although "no parle
Italiano".  I did find a reference to a book entitled "Cattedrale di
San Pietro, Bologna - Il nuovo Organo, Grafiche San Ruffillo".

Does anyone have any more information about either of the organs in
that cathedral?

thanks,

Al
