2010 Colzani Organi  restoration

Pietro Bernasconi built a new organ in 1885 for the church of the Santuario Beate Vergine di San Lorenzo in Guanzate. He partly used material from the previous organ, which was built in 1839-1840 by Giuseppe Alchisio. Over time, a wind motor was installed and some registers were adjusted. The organ was restored in the years 2008-2010 by Ilic Colzani. On May 8, 2010 it was officially put back into use with a concert by Giancarlo Parodi.
