- The organ in the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunto in Genova-Carignanon was originally built in the years 1656-1660 by Willem Hermans. A beautiful baroque organ case was built by Giovanni Battista Santacroce and Giovanni Battista Isola, with carvings and paintings by Domenico Piola and Paolo Brozzi.
- The organ was converted by Camillo Bianchi in 1853 and expanded into a two-manual organ with 28 registers. In 1905 the organ was overhauled by Domenico Tagliafico, who replaced several fill stops with new registers. A year later, a number of old registers were replaced by the Lingiardi company.
- The Fratelli Marin company carried out a restoration in 2011. In addition, the organ has been expanded to 36 registers. Several registers that were replaced in 1905-1906 were reconstructed.
