House Bossi, Novara, Neoclassical residential building in Novara, Italy

House Bossi is a three-story residential building with a symmetrical facade and refined architectural details in Novara. It sits at a prominent location in the heart of the old town and displays neoclassical design with balanced proportions.

In 1857 Luigi Desanti, a Corsican nobleman, bought a 18th-century building of the marchioness Amalia Coconito di Montiglio in the old contrada di Sant'Agata and commissioned Alessandro Antonelli to enlarge and modify it; the facade was finished in 1859. In 1865 the adjoining buildings were demolished, allowing via Pier Lombardo to be extended onto the rampart, and the main entrance was opened on the side facade. Desanti died that year; his three daughters sold the house on 29 December 1880 to Carlo Bossi.

The house appears in Sebastiano Vassalli's novel Cuore di pietra, set among its inhabitants and visitors. Its halls have served as a filming location for fashion houses Brunello Cucinelli and Christian Fischbacher, Odda magazine with the Moschino archive, and furniture firm Alivar. The Negrita video for "Il gioco" and scenes from La libertà allo specchio with Pamela Villoresi were also shot here.

The building is easily reached on foot from the city center and is best viewed during daylight when the facade is optimally lit. The site occasionally hosts exhibitions and cultural events, so it is worth checking local information in advance.

In 2010 Casa Bossi placed second in the FAI census I Luoghi del Cuore, a national vote on beloved Italian places. Sebastiano Vassalli set his novel Cuore di pietra in the house, and its halls have served as a set for fashion shoots and the Negrita video Il gioco.
