Bank of Italy

Bank of America was created in October 17, 1904. However, it was not called Bank of America yet. It was called Bank of Italy. Bank of Italy was created by Amadeo Pietro Giannini in San Francisco. A different bank, which was called Bank of America, was created in 1922, in Los Angeles. In 1928, the two banks merged with other banks, and created another bank, also called Bank of Italy. In November 3, 1930, the bank's name was changed into Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association. Afterwards, they merged with many more banks (such as Banca d'America e d'Italia, Bancitaly Corporation, and many more banks).
