The Venetian textile tradition

The Bevilacqua shop in Fondamenta Canonica is situated right next to the Bridge of Sighs. Here customers will find the entire collection of Luigi Bevilacqua fabrics, including damasks, lampas, velvets, soprarizzi, and brocades, which are also used to produce cushions, runners and panels, plus a wide range of trimmings, bows and many curiosities of the Venetian textile world. The shop also offers an interesting collection of period fabrics, both from the Bevilacqua productions of the 1800s and the first productions of Mariano Fortuny in the early 1900s.
