Mario Bevilacqua
Craftsmanship and technique, passion and creativity, history and legend, style and tradition – this is what Mario Bevilacqua can offer you in his fabric shops in Venice.
Venetian textile production
The renowned textile production of the Bevilacqua family is displayed here in all its variations:
velvets, canopies, damasks, brocades, cushions, banners, tapestries, recounting eight centuries of
Venetian fabric tradition.
Bevilacqua Family
Venice, surrounded by water like mighty walls enclosing and protecting even those arts that the world envies, appreciates, and seeks.
It is right here, for three centuries, that the Bevilacqua family continues with pride and determination to weave on the golden and manual wooden looms of the ancient Luigi Bevilacqua Weaving, present in two historic shops that the best guidebooks recommend visiting, integrated into the tourist routes exploring art in Venice.

Pay us a visit
The two Mario Bevilacqua shops are both located in San Marco, at 337/b Fondamenta Canonica, right behind St. Mark's Basilica and next to the Bridge of Sighs.
In Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, in a historic shop mentioned and preserved as one of the last examples of a workshop from past centuries, without shop windows but with a large door always open, and two windows from which fabrics meet people to be seen, touched, and known.
