- In 1737 Gian Giuseppe Gatti Amadori built two organs in the church of San Domenico in Bologna, one on the epistle and one on the gospel side of the choir. In 1851 Bossi-Urbani replaced the interior of the instrument on the epistle side, re-using Gatti's front pipes. In 1854 the brothers Cesare, Quintino and Ferdinando Rasori replaced the interior of the organ on the opposite gallery, leaving the front pipes as well.
- The organ of Bossi-Urbani was dedicated in October 1851. It is seen as the master piece of this builder and has been preserved almost in the original state. In 1945, the organ was cleaned and a electric blower was installed. There have been plans to install a central console on the choir, with the possibility to play both organs, but these plans were never carried out.
