The Bank of the Holy Spirit (Italian: Il Banco di Santo Spirito; Latin: Banco de Spiritus Sanctus) was a bank founded by Pope Paul V on December 13, 1605. The Bank was the first national bank in Europe (as the bank of the Papal States),[1] the first public deposit bank in Rome,[2] and the oldest continuously-operating bank in Rome until its merger in 1992.[3] In 1992, the Bank of the Holy Spirit—which had previously merged with the Cassa di Risparmio di Roma (est. 1836) in 1989— merged with the Banco di Roma (est. 1880) to form the Banca di Roma, which subsequently merged with other banks in 2002 to form Capitalia.[10]
