Hi everybody.. judy is really proud about her beatiful church, sure!!! None says that her church is not beatiful :)

But, if you will pass in Italy, please tell me where you want go...
In one life none can see well all the historical places here :))
Muza, probably you'll reach Italy in Rome o Milan airport..
If you choose Rome, we are 75 km NorthEast Rome.. but in March we havent' the organ, only the Positive. We start the building on site on first April week (I hope..)
But you can see another Formentelli' "quite ancient" instrument in Rome, Santa Maria degli Angeli church, near Central Railway Station (Esedra Square..)
see on our site http://www.organosandomenicorieti.it/formentelli_works.htm
(sorry about italian) and go to S.M Angeli Organ photo..
Have a good visit!
Please ask me for any info, I'll try to sent you what I know.. :) .. and if you pass near rieti I take you on a typical place and a typical Italian restaurant :)
Bye!

I looked up your pipe organs and they are beautiful. I will just pretend to
be there when I go to my church because I couldn't afford Italy in a
million years! I would do well to visit Nashville,Tn. from here. Don't get
me wrong I would love to visit your place but I don't have enough funds
to get me there. I'm on a limited income right now.

Hi Muza,

It is the Cathedral of Siena in Siena, Italy. It really has an exotic look with the black bands of marble throughout the Cathedral.

Thank you again for your "open arm" wellcome, guys! The atmosphere here is warm and it's really good have sometimes a talking with you.
I never stays in United States:( , because I have too many hobbies ... one of them is spearfishing and diving and so.. when I start for holydays, usually I go to .. some sea isles :p , as per Maldive or .. more more cheaper.. the Red Sea locations. For less than 600$ a five-star travel can be booked usually. The only problem is : these sites are pipe-organ less :cry: but one cannot have all at same time :smirk:

So, I wish to Judy to win a Italy Travel! If this will became reality, the travel will be really interesting :D

In Italy we have a large amount of any-time and any dimension organs! I prefeer all-mechanical and well-defined one, than recent or electrical instruments. In the 50' - 60' years , many restaurations was performed damaging ancient instruments, adding electrical parts, destroyng original pipes and so on. In the latest years, these works cannot be legally performed, historical organs are under law protection and the dark period of organ was ended.

Our association is working today about great Dom Bedos Organ mainly, but we are searching for any kind of founds in order to perform restoration of our 1700 many instruments in Rieti, my city!
This is our goal :) !!

Have a good night to everyone! My work day was really awful today:mad:, but now I'm stay better, reading our forum

See you later, guys!

I think she was hit pretty hard by not being able to get at the organ in the Methodist church. It meant a lot to her to be able to go in and play some. Her last post was on the 19th Jan.

Hope she's OK
