BEVILACQUA WEAVING

The actual Tessitura was founded by Luigi Bevilacqua in 1875, after recovering some looms and machines once used by the Silk Guild of the Republic of Venice.
But according to some documents some Bevilacqua weavers were already there in the 18th century.
In 1875 Luigi Bevilacqua and his associate, Giovanni Battista Gianoglio, decided to buy a building on the Fondamenta San Lorenzo of the Sestiere Castello and to turn it into the seat of a new weaving mill.
This new seat was not casually chosen: it was an old Weavers School, abandoned at the beginning of the 19th century.
Thus Bevilacqua’s Weaving Mill resumed from where antique Italian fabrics had left off, saving some 18th-century looms and standing along the watershed between crisis and rebirth.
