Persona BackgroundMy name is Maestra Aspasia Bevilacqua and this is my story. My father, Nicolas Antonopoulos married Sofia Marfisa and brought her to Cyprus in the early 1400’s. He made a name for himself, plying the seas to bring, at first, supplies, and eventually luxuries such as spices and cloth. He was known to made a good bargain but never cheated. I was born in the month of June in the year of 1440 in the city of Nicosia, the place of the Lusignan dynasty. My mother made sure that I was schooled in the arts of running a household. I became an accomplished weaver of linen. My father loved me very much and spared no expense to make sure that I was educated, believing that I should be able to work alongside any husband that he chose. In the year 1460, he found just that. Marco Bevilacqua, a merchant of the Venetian family of fine velvet cloth, was a good match for our families. The Bevilacqua family had property and dealings with Firenze and so Marco and I moved there and Marco became a Rigattieri. I produced two healthy daughters and a son. Our son has joined the Bevilacqua family in Venezia, weaving velvet. We continue to create and sell our wares. I weave for the people near me while my husband is well respected and has worked on many inventories. Aspasia of the Known WorldI am a member of the Embellisher's Guild as a Journeyman, working on my Craftsman. I am interested in spinning, weaving, dyeing with natural dyes, cooking, sewing, illumination and calligraphy, and archery. OfficesI was the Chief Scribe for my branch, as of Feb 2019 to Yule 2022.
