Fondazione Cariparma

The banking foundation also owned a small stake of Banca Intesa due to the acquisition.

Intesa Sanpaolo also sold aforementioned Cariparma S.p.A. (as Cassa di Risparmio di Parma e Piacenza) to Intesa Sanpaolo's former shareholders Crédit Agricole and the banking foundation in the same year.

The foundation also invested in F2i First Fund[1]: 113 In 2016 the foundation was invited to invest back to banking sector by joining the private equity fund Atlante[1]: 114  that aiming to recapitalize the weak bank and purchase the securitizated non-performing loan.

However, Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca faced second bail-out by the Italian government, but in the process the shareholders were bailed-in, wiping the investment of Atlante and in turn Fondazione Cariparma.
