Persona Background
My name is 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.
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. We married and I produced two healthy daughters and a son. My husband is a smart man, who knows that I am an asset to the business. He feels confident that I will be able to take charge when he is on his travels between Venezia and our trading partners.
Our queen, Catarina Cornaro, has retired to Alonso these last 3 years and the threat of the Ottomans has been increasing, making it more difficult to continue with commerce.
