The Chiesa di San Pietro is part of a monastery complex in Perugia, Italy. A religious building was on the site as early as 102 CE. The church was burnt in 1398, suppressed in 1799, and resident part of a revolt against the pope in 1859. A colorful history to be sure. It would seem that at some point in the 14th century the original east end apse was razed and a new larger structure constructed. Within the new apse was located the choir and space for an organ. My black and white post card is unused. It shows the "new" apse area with famous wooden choir stalls. In a recessed area in the upper middle section pies of the organ can be seen. I have not been able to find any information about the instrument. I was able to find a few pictures of the choir area, but none of them showed any more of the organ than appears in the card.
