After the “Venetiano”, the “Vicentino” and the “Lusitano”, a new character has appeared on stage: the “Emiliano”.
This new positive organ is inspired by models of the Emilian school between the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, suitably adapted to the modern needs (transposing keyboard, changeable tuning system, ease of transport). Some of these Bolognese models were particularly significant to me: the organ in the church of Monte San Giovanni (in the municipality of Monte San Pietro, Bologna) attributed to Paolo Cipri, 1578 and the organ in the church of Sant’Eugenio, attributed to Carlo Traeri, 1675. The small “organo ottavino” by Carlo Traeri in Montasico near Bologna suggested the bipartite layout of the wooden counter-façade.
