history

The family company is now in the sixth generation. It was founded in 1829 by Giacomo Mascioni (1811-1896) in Comacchio di Cuvio . His sons Anacleto (1837–1893), Bernardo (1844–1890) and Gaspare (1848–1893) joined the company. Bernardo's sons formed the third generation: Enrico (1867–1936), Tullio I (1869–1850) and Vincenzo I (1871–1953). Vincenzo I's sons were Giacomo II (1897–1975), Ernesto (1898–1980), Giovanni I (1905–1979), Angelo (1907–1969), Vincenzo II (1910–1975) and Tullio II. ( 1914-1999). The fifth generation consisted of Ernesto's sons Eugenio (* 1932), Enrico (* 1934) and Mario (1937-2020) as well as Tullio's son Giovanni II (* 1946). Today, the management of the family business is in the hands of Eugenio's son Andrea (* 1965) and his cousin Giorgio (* 1966), son of Enrico.

The company has also been restoring historic organs for around 40 years. The most important organs built and maintained by Mascioni include the organs in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and in the Cathedral of Florence .
