"The Bank of Italy was founded in San Francisco, California, United States, on October 17, 1904,[1] by Amadeo Pietro Giannini. It grew by a branch banking strategy to become Bank of America, the world's largest commercial bank, with 493 branches in California and assets of $5 billion in 1945.[2]" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Italy_(United_States) 03/20/2023] |
