Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno
Italian bank
Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno, or Carifol in short, is a former Italian regional bank based in Foligno, Umbria. A subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo, the bank was merged with 3 other saving banks in Umbria to form Casse di Risparmio dell'Umbria in 2012.
History
Found 1857 in Foligno, Papal States, the bank had a philanthropic mission to operate a mount of piety and a saving bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio).
Cariplo
In 1992, due to Legge Amato, the daily banking operation, charity and ownership were separated into a società per azioni and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno (a banking foundation). Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde also immediately acquired 20% stake in the new limited company. The stake was diluted to 18.34% in 1996.
Banca Intesa
In July 1999 Banca Intesa the successor of Cariplo, acquired an additional 47.1% ownership from the foundation (reached 70.47% at the end of year 1999), as well as grouped 4 other saving banks in Central Italy (2 from Umbria, 2 from Lazio) to one intermediate holding company Holding Intesa Centro (which 97.63% stake of the holding was held by Intesa and the 3 banking foundations (except the Carivit Foundation) held the rest). In 2001, Ascoli was added into the mini-group, followed by Terni and Narni in 2003.
In 2007, Carifol followed the ultimate holding company to become part of Intesa Sanpaolo Group. In 2008 the group acquired Banca CR Firenze.

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19903199. VIAF identifies the subject as 240055429. The Library of Congress control number is n87893146. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 1857, 1992 and 1996.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
