In 1997, after long studies and some work experience incentivated by their passion for the pipe organ, Ugo Cremonesi and Claudio d’Arpino opened the Bottega Organaria in Soncino, near Bergamo.
Cremonesi works primarily in the restoration of historic instruments, which requires a thorough study of the original creators. The restoration atelier fully respects the heritage dictated by superintendencies. Each restoration is unique, and every stage is certified. In recent years, Cremonesi has worked increasingly with the Roman Catholic Curias in Lombardy and the Lombardy Regional Department of Cultural Heritage and Landscape.
Instruments restored by the Bottega Organaria are regularly seen in organ concerts, played by famous musicians. Some of its most significant works have become the subject of scientific publications. Music played on instruments restored by the atelier has also been recorded on CD by leading organ players.
