The promoter of the project, Joan Mateu Bou, born in Pollença, is a lawyer and philanthropist known for his contributions to the preservation of his community's cultural and historical heritage. His notable achievement is the maintenance of the Casa Natal de Miquel Costa i Llobera, along with his family, located in the heart of the village of Pollença.
Preservation of the house and the figure of Miquel Costa i Llobera
Joan Bou Sunyerva, born in Felanitx in 1895, was a prominent entrepreneur who overcame the difficulties of his time. While his six siblings emigrated to Chile out of necessity, he worked in Morocco before settling in Pollença, where he had a successful career. In 1931, he purchased the Costa house from the poet's nephews for 80,000 pesetas, a significant investment at the time. He also acquired other important properties such as Son Brull and Alcanada. He dedicated time and resources to preserving the house and the legacy of Costa i Llobera, commissioning a portrait of the poet by Dionís Bennassar and a bust, which can now be seen in the garden.
His heirs, Maria Bou Villalonga and Joan Mateu Bou, have continued to preserve the house and promote its cultural legacy. Thanks to their commitment, the property has become a meeting place for cultural activities, keeping the memory of Costa i Llobera alive.
Els seus hereus, Maria Bou Villalonga i Joan Mateu Bou, han continuat preservant la casa i promovent el llegat cultural. Gràcies al seu compromís, la propietat s’ha convertit en un espai de trobada per a activitats culturals, mantenint viva la memòria de Costa i Llobera.
