In
1975 Umberto Pineschi, organist of the Cathedral of Pistoia, founded
an association with the purpose of promoting the knowledge and the
study of the Italian organ and its literature, particularly in connection
with the Pistoiese school. The association took as its symbol the
Willem Hermans organ (1664) of the church of Spirito Santo and was
named Accademia di Musica Italiana per Organo (Academy of Italian
Organ Music). In 2001 it was given a new title, Accademia d'organo
Giuseppe Gherardeschi (Giuseppe Gherardeschi Organ Academy).
