Organo della basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano, Pipe organ in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City
The Tamburini pipe organ of St. Peter's Basilica features 76 stops distributed across four manual keyboards and a pedalboard.
The first mention of an organ in the old St. Peter's Basilica dates back to the 14th century, with four organs documented in the 15th century.
The main organ contributes to liturgical ceremonies and musical performances held regularly within the largest church of Christianity.
The maintenance of the principal organ is performed by Mascioni, ensuring its functionality for religious services and special events throughout the year.
An electronic organ was installed in 2017 to complement the historical pipe organ and address contemporary musical requirements in the basilica.
