Tessiture Luigi Bevilacqua is a textile company incorporated in Venice in 1875—originally in the sestiere of Castello. The company deals primarily with the production of velvet, lampas, damask, and satin on 17th century looms.[1]
History edit
Origins edit
The first evidence of the involvement of the Bevilacqua family in the production of silks date back to 1499.[2] It wasn't until 1875, however, that the textile production was incorporated into a company under Luigi Bevilacqua (1844–1898).
