 Historical Pipe-Organ of the Province of Bergamo
Yet, in the eighteenth century these organ builders were even more famous than the Serassi; the proof is given both by the organ of the cathedral of Bergamo, built in 1728 and in 1737 by Antonio Bossi and his son Angelo, and by the remaking of the organ of S. Maria Maggiore in 1782.
In 1728 the vestry-board of the Duomo in Bergamo ordered the Bossi the construction of an organ which had to be "like that of the cathedral of Como".
Then, in 1881 he was awarded at the national Esposizione of Milano for the invention of the double pallet (of the chest); its aim was to attenuate the air pressure, that's to say, to defeat the resistance so that the keyboard could be lighter "and the organ easy to the touch".

In 1650 Hermans built for the Duomo of Como (the Bossi and the Serassi' s town: as it was already said, they moved to Bergamo at the beginning of the eighteenth century) a two-manual majestic organ in which the Flemish school and the Lombard tradition blend with harmony.
As a matter of fact in 1728 this organ was the model to which the vestry-board of the Duomo of Bergamo would make reference for the construction of the organ of the cathedral, work given to the Bossi, who knew very well the Hermans organ, since they had already restored it.
