The atmosphere is residential, discreet and deeply personal.
You will have more home than hotel;
The Fiermontina Family Collection is curated to offer travellers an enriching experience; a harmonious blend of art and living pleasure. Everything you see and experience whilst staying with us has been carefully arranged and designed, allowing Fouad Giacomo and Antonia Yasmina-Filali to fulfil their desire to share the extraordinary history of their maternal grandmother, Antonia Fiermonte, a beautiful muse and artist who died before they met her.
From her they inherited their elegant style, whimsical spirit, love of the arts, and passion for philanthropy. Because of this, they are excited to open the doors of these homes and tell this incredible story, offering guests a signature hospitality service that is easier to experience than to explain.
La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso is dedicated to Antonia’s brother, Enzo Fiermonte, who at the age of seventeen became a professional boxer, acquiring a level of fame that allowed him to travel all over the world. Fighting in Milan, Paris, London and Cairo, he eventually made it to Madison Square Garden in New York, where he fought to become the world champion.
After meeting the wealthy American heiress, Lady Madeleine Astor, whilst on a luxury cruise, he divorced his first wife, Tosca, marrying Astor in 1933.
Following his second marriage, Enzo abandoned his boxing career to work as an actor, starring in popular films in the genres of action, adventure and science fiction. His appearance and physical prowess led him to appear in over one-hundred films, including Luchino Visconti’s ‘Rocco and His Brothers’.
After four years, his marriage to Lady Astor ended and he returned to Rome, passing away at the age of eighty-four.
Today, his story continues in the ten elegant suites of La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso.
Private experiences may include:
“One of the rare places where luxury still feels personal and deeply authentic.”
— London
“Perfectly positioned to enjoy both Lecce and the Salento coastline without compromise.”
— New York
