| Ancient
memories wind their way through the archways and freshly painted walls
of Residence Corona Grossa; memories of a by-gone world, of silence
and calm. The heart of the building, in fact, was home to the old
convent of the adjacent church of Saint Sudario, whose bell tower
still dominates the large internal courtyard, onto which face small
and interesting shops. Between the 19th and 20th Century a new life
begins for the complex with the closure of the convent, which becomes
an inn with “a choice service of cuisine, electrical light,
horses and carriages”, as a leaflet of the time recites. In
1917 it was purchased by Michele and Fernanda Fiorito, and a long
tradition of high-class catering begins. Over time the building enlarges
and renews itself, becoming a restaurant, hotel and finally a Residence
in 2008. Corona Grossa has experienced a long journey; its roots are
deeply embedded in the past but it looks forward to the future with
passion and enthusiasm. |
