Description

At the corner that the street forms with Corte Santo Stefano delle Canne the coat of arms of the Perrone family, one of the main families of the Lecce aristocracy that boasted a descent from Saint Oronzo. From the simple lines embellished with ornate balconies, in the historic center of the Baroque city of Lecce, the property stands on one of the most important streets, a short distance from the cathedral. Various historical books tell of this palace of probable construction dating back to the 16th century. Certainly, in the 1700s it was inhabited by the physician Carlo Perrone and his son, the magistrate Bernardino. Located at an angle, the palace has a main entrance and two side entrances. It has three floors with some vaulted ceilings and large rooms that are developed in the embrace of the light well. A large panoramic terrace, where the view gets lost on the old part of the city and the bell tower of the cathedral, ideal for spending time relaxing. Certainly in need of major renovation, in 1960 it underwent work on the attics. Thanks to its wide expanse and beautiful location, the building lends itself well to be used as a prestigious private residence or to be converted into an accommodation facility.

Location: Lecce, Apulia

Amid Baroque cathedrals, masserias, castles and towers on the unspoiled sea, Puglia is an ancient land, traversed by centuries of history and art that have left unmistakable marks. Here lies Lecce, in the deepest South, marked by slow rhythms, influenced by Magna Graecia and Byzantine rule, in the heart of Salento full of enchanting villages and breathtaking landscapes. Lecce, the "queen of baroque," is one of the most enchanting cities in southern Italy. Strolling through the city's alleys, everything is enveloped in a dazzling light thanks to the blue of the endless sky and the golden color of the Pietra Leccese, who has made it possible to write the history of Baroque. Here where art is everywhere, among churches and aristocratic palaces that fascinate with unexpected scenery, where the color of the stone soothes and leads into almost meditative paths, no one can leave Lecce without admiring Piazza Duomo at night. It just has to be done. You will understand why. Of Messapian foundation in Roman times it was called Lupiae. In the Middle Ages, the city's fate is tied to the Norman dynasty, but it was during Spanish rule that Lecce ushered in its heyday. Steeped in pale stone lacework and Baroque churches, here where everything is harmonious, Baroque reaches its apotheosis in the splendid Basilica of Santa Croce, which, together with the Convent of the Celestines, represents one of the greatest architectural complexes. A city that tells of history, culture, traditions linked to ancient customs and a simple and genuine cuisine with typical dishes to fall in love with. Only 30 minutes from Brindisi airport and a few kilometers south of the Itria Valley, Lecce is almost halfway between the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea, which can be reached in a few minutes.
