La Fiermontina Family Collection has announced the opening of four new suites at its Fiermonte Museum in Lecce, Italy, which holds the family’s private collection of art. La Fiermontina Family Collection is owned by brother-sister duo Fouad Giacomo and Antonia Yasmina Filali and is inspired by their grandmother, artist Antonia Fiermonte, who was married to two sculptors during her lifetime. The family-owned collection of hotels and villas includes properties in Italy, France and Morocco.
Guests can enjoy a unique experience in the Fiermonte Museum’s new themed suites, each of which is dedicated to an art form: the Nocturne Suite is music-themed, the Peplum Suite is inspired by cinema, the Avant-garde Suite is dedicated to painting and the Marbre Suite is a tribute to sculpture. Three of the suites accommodate two people, while the suite Avant-garde accommodates up to three.
The Fiermonte Museum in Lecce recently underwent a major renovation and expansion. The intertwined stories of Antonia Fiermonte and the artists René Letourneur and Jaques Zwobada create a thread that transports visitors on a journey through the past century. The use of virtual reality, holography and stereoscopic panoramas adds a layer of depth and immersion, creating a multi-sensory experience.
The Fiermonte Museum is not only a cultural hub of ideas with exhibitions and workshops, but also a house to live in. The Nocturne Suite is dedicated to music, inspired by Antonia’s work as a violinist and Zwobada’s as a cellist; the Peplum Suite pays homage to cinema, specifically the work of Antonia’s brother, Enzo Fiermonte, who was an actor; the Avant-garde Suite is inspired by the paintings of Antonia, Letourneur and Zwobada; and the Marbre Suite is dedicated to the sculpture of Letourneur and Zwobada.
La Fiermontina Family Collection in Lecce includes the 19-key La Fiermontina Luxury Home, the 10-suite Palazzo Bozzi Corso and the Fiermonte Museum with its four new suites. Antonia Fiermonte’s story continued in Paris, where the family owns La Fiermontina Vendome, a two-bedroom villa on Place Vendome, home to the family’s collection of antiques and fine art, including paintings by Francis Bacon and furniture by Gio Ponti.
In June, the Italian-Moroccan siblings’ newest boutique property, La Fiermontina Ocean opened on the coast of Larache in Morocco. The eco-retreat is a program of the Orient-Occident Foundation, founded by sister Antonia Yasmina Filali 30 years ago to help bring opportunity to rural communities of Morocco. La Fiermontina Ocean trains and employs local villagers, and has 14 pool suites, four traditional houses, a hammam and café in the village of Dchier.
