The
Taleb Palazzo in Amioun
Built
for my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Ibrahim Taleb Nabbout by
Florentine architects and completed in 1860, financed by his brothers who were
silk traders. Occupied by Ibrahim, then his son Assaad Beik Taleb (there is a
frame of the "firman", the "Beik" title granted by the
Ottoman), then by Assaad's son Nassim Beik Taleb, then Chafic, then daughters
Laure and Evelynne Taleb, then by Yvonne,
Laure's only child. Currently occupied by Edgar Taleb Khoury, son of Yvonne
Taleb, great-grandson of Nassim Taleb.
