Gruppo Intesa Sanpaolo

Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. is an Italian international banking group. It is Italy's largest bank by total assets and the world's 38th largest. It was formed through the merger of the Milan-based Banca Intesa and Turin-based Sanpaolo IMI in 2007, but has a corporate identity stretching back to its first foundation as Istituto Bancario San Paolo di Torino in 1583. It has two headquarters: Milan, which houses the headquarters of IMI-Corporate and Investment Banking Division, International Banks Division, Private Banking Division, Asset Management Division and Insurance Division, and Turin, which houses Banca dei Territori, the retail banking Division.
