This time, we got ourselves into a thriller through the story of a maid named Josephine, whose ghost is still believed to be around. Our dinner took place at Palazzo Corpi – now called Soho House Istanbul. We revisited a night from the 19th century, and the entire story was told by three talented actors. And yes, we all had goosebumps paired with silky red wine. Ignacio Corpi, a famous banker decided to build Palazzo Corpi in Istanbul and Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni was invited to Istanbul for its construction. The construction took 9 years and costed 99 thousand Ottoman Gold. Corpi was not able to live long in the palace though; when Corpi's wife, Yasemin, found out the secret affair between his husband and Josephine, she pushed Ignacio from the top of Palazzo Corpi's grand staircase. Josephine was found death in her bed the next morning. After the death of Ignacio, his nephews sold Palazzo Corpi to the U.S. government for it to be used as an embassy. The palace thus became an important structure in the history of American diplomacy, as it became the first structure acquired by the U.S. government in Europe, and second outside of America. Rumors say that Josephine's ghost still resides in what used to be Palazzo Corpi, the house of her beloved, keeping their love and memories alive.
