Bank of Italy Building, Renaissance Revival bank building in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.

The Bank of Italy Building at 552 Montgomery Street is an eight-story structure with a granite base and terra-cotta upper facade, finished inside with white marble and period details. The design blends practical banking needs with Renaissance Revival ornamentation typical of early 1900s San Francisco architecture.

A. P. Giannini's Bank of Italy moved here after the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed its original Montgomery Avenue headquarters; land at Clay and Montgomery was bought for $125,000, and the building opened on August 17, 1908. It served as headquarters until 1921, when operations moved to 1 Powell Street, then housed Giannini's Liberty Bank System and, from the 1930s, a Bank of America branch. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1978.

The building's name recalls A. P. Giannini's Bank of Italy, founded to serve working people and immigrants. Its ground floor, with original marble counters, wainscoting and light fixtures, still shows the setting where that banking approach was put into practice.

The building stands at 552 Montgomery Street, next to the Transamerica Pyramid. Since 2012 the ground floor has been occupied by the menswear retailer Wingtip, which offers tailoring and barber services in the basement vault. The upper floors are offices and not open to the public.

The basement still holds the original safe with 5,000 deposit boxes, surviving the heavy later modifications of that floor. Above it, Wingtip opened in 2012, offering tailoring and barber services in the former vault space. The first floor keeps its original plaster, marble counters, wainscoting and light fixtures.
