    		I'm aware that in 1904 Amadeo Giannini opened the New Bank of Italy in San Francisco, and that changed its name in 1930 to The Bank of America....

    		Yay Peasy! That Bank of Italy was started in a saloon and for a while in 1907 was held on the street before branching into the mighty Bank of America it is today.
