Our first headquarters were located in the <strong>Castello district, at Fondamenta San Lorenzo 5074<\/strong>, where Luigi, together with his partner <strong>Giovanni Battista Gianoglio<\/strong>, took over the looms from the Bistort company, an old weaving factory. From those hand-operated looms, steeped in centuries of tradition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/en\/the-birth-of-tessitura-luigi-bevilacqua\/\">the first Bevilacqua fabrics came to life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a fire destroyed part of the archive and forced the company to move, but it did not extinguish the determination to continue. The new headquarters were found in the prestigious <strong>Palazzo Labia<\/strong>, in <strong>Campo San Geremia<\/strong>, where we moved in 1892. It was a symbolic location, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, overlooking the Ponte delle Guglie, along a route loved by Venetians and visitors on their way to St. Mark\u2019s Square. Around that same time, we opened a <strong>store in San Bartolomeo 5550<\/strong>, strengthening the connection between our production and the commercial life of Venice.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The birth of a family business<\/h2>\n<p>In 1895, with Gianoglio&#8217;s retirement, the company passed entirely into Luigi Bevilacqua\u2019s hands. From that moment on, our weaving mill took on the character of <strong>a true family business<\/strong>, where skills and passion were intertwined like the threads on our looms.<\/p>\n<p>By 1897, Luigi\u2019s sons had taken on key roles within the company: <strong>Vincenzo<\/strong>, the eldest, oversaw administration; <strong>Antonio<\/strong> directed the workshop and the artistic side of production; and <strong>Angelo<\/strong> handled public relations, bringing our fabrics beyond the borders of Venice.<\/p>\n<p>Even then, our production was extensive and refined, including <strong>soprarizzo velvets, gold, silver, and silk fabrics, brocades, lampas, damasks, trimmings, and liturgical vestments<\/strong>. This is further evidenced by an advertising flyer still preserved today at our headquarters in Santa Croce, dated between 1892 and 1895, when we were still at Palazzo Labia. This document not only describes what we produced, but also conveys the founders\u2019 experience and reveals how, less than twenty years after its inception, the weaving mill was already renowned for the quality and variety of its products.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Diploma-produzione-seta-Bevilacqua.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; max_width=&#8221;500px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;left&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>The Santa Croce headquarters and opening up to the world<\/h2>\n<p>In 1905, our factory finally found its <strong>permanent home in the Santa Croce district<\/strong>, where our looms still stand today.

Quest\u2019anno celebriamo con orgoglio <strong>i 150 anni dalla fondazione della Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua<\/strong>, e con essi rendiamo omaggio ai primi protagonisti di un\u2019avventura che ha portato la bellezza dei <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/categoria\/tessuti\/\">tessuti veneziani<\/a> nel mondo.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p><h2>Le origini: Luigi Bevilacqua e i primi anni a Castello<\/h2><p>Tutto ebbe inizio nel 1875, quando <strong>Luigi Bevilacqua<\/strong>, erede di una tradizione veneziana di maestri tessitori, decise di fondare la sua azienda. La nostra prima sede sorgeva nel sestiere di <strong>Castello, in Fondamenta San Lorenzo 5074<\/strong>, dove Luigi, insieme al socio <strong>Giovanni Battista Gianoglio<\/strong>, rilev\u00f2 i telai di una vecchia manifattura, la ditta Bistort. Da quei telai, mossi a mano e ricchi di storia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/nascita-tessitura-luigi-bevilacqua\/\">presero vita i primi tessuti firmati Bevilacqua<\/a>.<\/p><p>Un incendio distrusse purtroppo parte dell\u2019archivio e costrinse l\u2019azienda a spostarsi, ma non cancell\u00f2 la volont\u00e0 di proseguire. La nuova sede fu individuata nel prestigioso <strong>Palazzo Labia, in Campo San Geremia<\/strong>, dove ci trasferimmo nel 1892. Era un luogo simbolico: l\u2019edificio, tra i pi\u00f9 belli della citt\u00e0, si affacciava sul Ponte delle Guglie, lungo uno dei percorsi pi\u00f9 amati da veneziani e visitatori diretti a Piazza San Marco. In quello stesso periodo, aprivamo anche il nostro <strong>negozio a San Bartolomeo 5550<\/strong>, consolidando il legame fra la produzione e la vita commerciale della citt\u00e0.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p><h2>La nascita di un\u2019impresa di famiglia<\/h2><p>Nel 1895, con il ritiro di Gianoglio, la ditta pass\u00f2 interamente nelle mani di Luigi Bevilacqua. Da quel momento la nostra tessitura assunse la fisionomia di una <strong>vera azienda familiare<\/strong>, dove competenze e passioni si intrecciavano come i fili dei nostri telai.<\/p><p>Nel 1897, i figli di Luigi assunsero ruoli chiave all\u2019interno dell\u2019impresa: <strong>Vincenzo<\/strong>, primogenito, curava l\u2019amministrazione interna; <strong>Antonio<\/strong> dirigeva lo stabilimento e la parte artistica della produzione; <strong>Angelo<\/strong> si occupava delle relazioni pubbliche, portando i nostri tessuti oltre i confini di Venezia.<\/p><p>Gi\u00e0 allora la produzione era ampia e raffinata: <strong>velluti soprarizzo, tessuti in oro, argento e seta, broccati, lampassi, damaschi, passamanerie e paramenti sacri<\/strong>. Lo testimonia anche un volantino pubblicitario conservato ancora oggi nella nostra sede di Santa Croce, datato agli anni tra il 1892 e il 1895, quando eravamo ancora a Palazzo Labia. Quel documento, racconta non solo cosa si produceva, ma anche l\u2019esperienza dei fondatori, e rivela come, a meno di vent\u2019anni dalla nascita, la tessitura fosse gi\u00e0 rinomata per la qualit\u00e0 e la variet\u00e0 delle sue creazioni.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\"Row\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Diploma-produzione-seta-Bevilacqua.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" align=\"center\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"center\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" admin_label=\"Image\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" max_width=\"500px\" animation_style=\"slide\" animation_direction=\"left\" animation_duration=\"500ms\" animation_intensity_slide=\"10%\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" animation=\"left\" sticky=\"off\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\"Row\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p><h2>La sede di Santa Croce e l\u2019apertura al mondo<\/h2><p>Nel 1905 la fabbrica trov\u00f2 finalmente la sua <strong>sede definitiva nel sestiere di Santa Croce, 1313<\/strong>, dove ancora oggi si trovano i nostri telai. L\u2019edificio assunse l\u2019aspetto attuale nel 1919, quando <strong>Angelo Bevilacqua<\/strong> lo acquist\u00f2 e rinnov\u00f2.<\/p><p>Nel frattempo, la famiglia cresceva e con essa si ampliavano gli orizzonti dell\u2019azienda. <strong>Cesare Bevilacqua<\/strong>, il pi\u00f9 giovane dei figli di Luigi e nonno degli attuali proprietari, entr\u00f2 in ditta nei primi anni del Novecento. Il suo matrimonio con la <strong>contessa svedese Glenny Charlotte von Redlick<\/strong>, nel 1908, apr\u00ec nuovi mercati nel Nord Europa.
