Perugia, IT, Cathedral


Perugia's main religious space dates from before 1000 CE. The current building dates from 1345, with worked suspended for some time and resumed in 1437. Major work was done leading up to consecration in 1569.

The organ as it exists now dates from 1967, built by Tamburini. Most recently work was done 2014-2015 with celebratory concerts in November, 2015. This blogger gives helpful information, including a specification.

My unused card is black-and-white, with red lettering on the front. There is no information about when it was produced. The organ facade depicted is different from the current manifestation. Since the Tamburini instrument dates from 1967, we can surmise there was a different instrument in place prior to that time. I have not been able to find information about the previous instrument(s).
