History
Palazzo Bozzi Corso is an 18th-century patrician palace in the historic heart of Lecce, built in 1775 by Gabriele Bozzi Corso, possibly incorporating the remains of an earlier 16th-century structure, and attributed to the noted local architect Emanuele Manieri. Set close to the Basilica di Santa Croce, the honey-coloured Baroque building was restored and opened as an intimate ten-suite hotel in June 2018 as part of the La Fiermontina family collection.
The collection takes its name from Enzo Fiermonte, the boxer and actor (and once husband of Lady Astor) who was a great-uncle of the owners, siblings Antonia Yasmina and Giacomo Fouad Filali. The palazzo is furnished as a private-home-meets-gallery, mixing design pieces linked to Sottsass, Gio Ponti, Mackintosh and Le Corbusier, with suites that nod to figures such as Lady Astor and to John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
