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.

Persona Background

My 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.
