In 1847 the saving bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio) was found by the instruction of Pope Pius IX, the head of states of the Papal States which Civitavecchia belongs at that time. Father Felice Guglielmi was the first president of the bank, with local chamber of commerce and commune government were the main funders.
