Synopsis. The secular knowledge of organ building art, handed down from one generation to another, found its home in a workshop in a small town in the island of Sardinia. Beyond the artisanal process, an invisible and unstoppable movement seems to be hidden: the research for the original breath of nature, that for the ancient Greeks (Πνεúμα) was also the spirit.
