A book celebrating the tenth anniversary of Banco Fiorentino and recounting its history—which has its roots in the first decade of the 20th century—and its deep connection to the regions where it was founded and grew, to which the book pays tribute through a journey that stretches from the hills of Mugello to Florence, from Impruneta and Signa all the way to Pisa and Livorno, taking in landscapes, communities, traditions, and local industries. A story rooted in reciprocity and cooperation, where the local area serves as both foundation and inspiration, and Banco Fiorentino acts as a resource that generates value, trust, and opportunities.

Ten years of history, but roots that extend much further back: this book celebrates Banco Fiorentino’s journey through the regions that have accompanied its birth and growth. From the first rural credit unions in Mugello to the cooperative initiatives in Impruneta and Signa, the stories of diverse communities came together in 2016 to give birth to Banco Fiorentino. Since then, the bank has gradually expanded its presence, building a network that today comprises 39 branches and stretches from the province of Florence to that of Pisa, with new prospects opening up toward Livorno. A recent history with deep roots tells this story through the places where Banco Fiorentino operates: a vast and diverse territory, made up of cities of art and villages, hills, manufacturing districts, and products of excellence. From the craftsmanship of leather goods to the tradition of straw weaving, from ceramics and terracotta to textiles, from mechanical engineering to the agri-food sector, each area preserves its own economic and cultural identity. A journey that traces the birth and growth of Banco Fiorentino and, at the same time, paints a portrait of a vibrant region, capable of preserving its history and transforming it into new opportunities.
