Cassa_di_Risparmio_di_Roma
Fondazione Roma formerly Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Roma is a charity organization based in Rome, Italy. The organization was re-founded as a banking foundation in 1991, by spin-off its banking activities (Cassa di Risparmio di Roma) to merge with other Roman banks to form Banca di Roma S.p.A. (the predecessor of Capitalia).[1] The foundation remained as a shareholder of UniCredit, the banking group that acquired Capitalia in mid-2007. As at 31 December 2006, the foundation was the second largest shareholder of Capitalia for 5.02% stake.[2]
At 31 December 2007 the foundation owned 1.13% stake of UniCredit.[3] It was diluted to 0.956% in 2009,[4] 0.484% in 2013.[5] (increased back to 0.478% in 2014 due to decrease in total share capital of the bank[6])
As at 31 December 2015, the foundation had a shareholders' equity of €1.522 billion.[7]
