Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Verona, Vicenza, Belluno e Ancona, also known as Fondazione Cariverona is an Italian banking foundation based in Verona, Veneto region. The foundation was created in 1991.
History
Due to Legge Amato, the law required the bank to become a limited company (Italian: Società per Azioni). The bank, Cassa di Risparmio di Verona, Vicenza, Belluno e Ancona (Cariverona) spin off the bank activities to form Cariverona Banca S.p.A., with the original statutory corporation renamed as Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Verona, Vicenza, Belluno e Ancona. (Decree of the Ministry of the Treasury on 20 December 1991; gazetted on 24 January 1992)
The foundation later formed an intermediate holding company with Fondazione Cassamarca, which was the birth of Unicredito, one of the predecessor of UniCredit (formerly Unicredito Italiano). Unicredito merged with Credito Italiano in 1998 to form Unicredito Italiano.
As at 31 December 2014, the foundation was a minority shareholder of UniCredit, as well as in A4 Holding (a company that owned the concession of Brescia–Verona–Vicenza–Padua section of Autostrada A4) and Aeroporto Valerio Catullo di Verona Villafranca (the operator of the airport of the same name).
