Written By Laura Swale

In the 18th century, the 65th Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of St John, Fra’ Marc’Antonio Zondadari, embarked on a mission to turn Cospicua into a thriving city. Three centuries later, inspired by Zondadari’s vision, plans are being hatched at a new boutique hotel to raise Città Cospicua’s profile as a centre of culture through art projects in the community. As the newly-renovated and redesigned BOCO Boutique reopens its doors, Times of Malta talks to proprietor, and man on a mission, Anthony Busuttil about his ambitions for Cospicua.
