  • In 1896 Carlo Vegezzi-Bossi builds an organ for the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory in Venice. The instrument had a total of 25 stops, ten on each manual and five on the pedal. The company Vincenzo Mascioni enlarged the instrument in 1926 (is 386 of the firm). Since it had three manuals and 36 stops.
  • The organ was rebuilt and expanded to its current form in 1959 by Mascioni as opus 777. From the original organs many stops were replaced by others and the organ was revoiced. A new console was installed, and all mechanics were renewed. On August 20, 1959, the organ was inaugurated. Over time some small modification were carried out.
  • After a restoration by Guglielmo Paccagnella the organ was relocated to the Chiesa di Sacro Cuore in Abano Terme in 2005. Two new stops were installed at this occasion: a Ripieno on the second manual and a Fagott 16' on the pedal. The Corno Inglese 16' of the first manual was modified.
