Bank
The predecessor of the bank, a mount of piety, was founded in 1489.[1] The bank was later changed the denomination to Monte di Credito su Pegno di Lucca due to a banking reform, despite the "Monte" reflected the mount of piety root.
Due to another banking reform in 1990s (it:Legge Amato), the larger organization was split into a società per azioni and a separate banking foundation in 1992.[2]
Banca Monte Lucca, and the savings banks of Florence, Livorno, Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia, San Miniato, also formed a loose banking group: Holding Casse Toscane in the same year.
