In 1610-1612 Giovanni Guglielmi built a second organ for the Chiesa di Santa Maria in Vallicella in Rome, placed on the north side of the choir. The organ case was replaced in 1697 by a new one, built by Francesco Maglia with wood carvings by Camillo Rosconi. Giacomo Alari restored the organ in 1698-1699. In 1897 the organ on the south side was renewed. Guglielmi's instrument then fell out of use and fell into disrepair. In 1999-2000 it was restored by Fratelli Ruffatti.
