Banca Commerciale Italiana
Former Italian bank / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banca Commerciale Italiana (COMIT), founded in 1894, was once one of the largest banks in Italy. In 1999, it merged with a banking group consisting of Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde (aka Cariplo; est. 1823) and Banco Ambroveneto, which had merged in 1998. The bank group changed the name to Intesa-BCI, and BCI temporarily became a sub-holding company. On 1 January 2003, the group's name changed to Banca Intesa. In 2006 Banca Intesa merged with Sanpaolo IMI, based in Turin, Italy, to form Intesa Sanpaolo.
