Unicredito was an Italian bank holding company that existed under that name for a brief time, from 1994 to 1998. It was initially formed by the banking foundations of Cassa di Risparmio di Verona, Vicenza, Belluno e Ancona (Cariverona Banca) and Cassa di Risparmio della Marca Trivigiana (Cassamarca) respectively owning 83.5 percent and 16.5 percent of UniCredito's equity.[2] In 1997, the banking foundation of Cassa di Risparmio di Torino (Banca CRT) joined the venture.[3] In 1998, Unicredito merged with Credito Italiano to form UniCredito Italiano, later branded as UniCredit.[4][5]
