The organ in Santa Maria Maggiore, Sirmione

This organ sits in the 15th century church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Sirmione, right at the tip of the peninsula. It dates from the 18th century and had some upgrades as recently as 1990.

I could not find anyone who would let me have a go. In fact, a few of the tourists in the church seemed notably unimpressed at the fact that I was only there to check out the organ, and even less impressed that I owned children.
