History
Established on 4 August 1872, Cassa di Risparmio di Vignola initially merged with Cassa di Risparmio di Spilamberto. As a result of the Legge Amato, on 20 December 1991 it was divided into two entities: Banca CRV – Cassa di Risparmio di Vignola S.p.A. (a joint-stock company) and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Vignola (currently known as Fondazione di Vignola).
During the late 1990s, the foundation transferred its controlling interest to BPER, which held a 76.087% share by the year 2000. The remaining 23.913% stake was acquired by BPER in 2005 for roughly €33 million.
On 29 November 2010, Banca CRV was completely merged into BPER.
