Giovanni di Niccolò Mansueti's San Marco trascinato alla Sinagoga, 1499; Liechtenstein. On the bottom right, there is a plaque in which the name Bevilacqua is found.
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).
