Santo Spirito finds its voice again: the organ and choir loft return to life after more than sixty years

After more than sixty years of silence, the Basilica of Santo Spirito finds its voice again: the Tronci Organ and the choir loft have been restored thanks to the support of Friends of Florence. An intervention that returns to the community not only an artistic masterpiece, but also its full liturgical and musical dimension.

The restoration of the Tronci Organ and the choir loft of the Basilica of Santo Spirito has returned a fundamental element of the church’s artistic, musical, and liturgical identity to the community, bringing back to life a historic instrument that had remained silent for decades.
