History

Cassa di Risparmi di Livorno was found on 4 April 1836. Due to Legge Amato, on 7 April 1992, the bank was split into Cassa di Risparmi di Livorno S.p.A. and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmi di Livorno (gazetted on 29 April).[2] The foundation immediately sold about 52.25% shares of the company to an intermediate holding company Holding Casse Toscane (literally Tuscan saving banks), which was formed by the saving bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio) of Livorno, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia & Pescia, San Miniato as well as Banca del Monte di Lucca. Livorno Foundation received about 3.46% shares of the holding, making the foundation indirectly have a minority interests in other banks, as well as just about 47.75% controls on its own bank directly, and about 49.6% combined.[2]

In 1995, CR Livorno, Pisa, Lucca and Banca Monte Lucca quit the union and formed Holding Casse del Tirreno (literally Tyrrhenian saving banks).[3][4] In 1999, CR Pisa, Livorno and Lucca were acquired by Banca Popolare di Lodi.

In 2000 CR Livorno had 47 branches. At that time Casse del Tirreno owned 57.64% shares of CR Livorno SpA (the rest held by the foundation). Istituto di Credito delle Casse di Risparmio Italiane acted as an intermediate holding company (ICCRI, a subsidiary of Bipielle Partecipazioni, another intermediate holding company) that owned 50.01% Casse del Tirreno. However, CR Livorno SpA also owned 0.19% of Casse del Tirreno.[5] In 2001 Casse del Tirreno was absorbed into ICCRI – Banca Federale Europea (ex-ICCRI), which still hold 57.64%% shares; Bipielle Partecipazioni remained as an intermediate holding company of ICCRI.[6] In 2002 Bipielle Retail became the new intermediate holding company.[7] In 2003, through CR Lucca SpA, Banca Popolare di Lodi privatized CR Livorno SpA.[8] The Foundation of CR Livorno owned 5.73% shares of CR Lucca SpA instead (based on 2005 share capitals). In 2006 CR Livorno SpA was completely absorbed into CR Lucca SpA, which the latter was renamed into CR Lucca, Pisa & Livorno SpA. At the same time the foundation sold most of the shares of CR Lucca SpA (5.047%) to Banca Popolare di Lodi, for €65,826,356.44 (retained 0.68% only).[9] The last annual report of CR Livorno SpA shown the bank had a shareholders equity of €293.480 million on 31 December 2005.[10]
