Bank of Italy, National Register bank building in downtown Fresno, US

The Bank of Italy is an eight-story building in downtown Fresno featuring Renaissance Revival style with ornate terra cotta details. The structure combines concrete and steel with classical elements, including marble floors, decorated spandrel panels along Fulton Mall, and elaborately designed first-floor window trims.

Charles Franklin designed the building in 1917 in Renaissance Revival style during a period of economic expansion in Fresno. Its construction was part of a wave of financial institutions that developed downtown and reflected the region's growing prosperity.

The Bank of Italy name comes from the San Francisco bank founded in 1904 that became Bank of America; its Fresno branch opened in 1918 with the bank's directors present. The building stands at the corner of Fulton Mall and Tulare Street, between Chukchansi Park and the Fresno Pacific Towers. A two-story wing was added at the rear in 1928.

The building is located on Fulton Mall in downtown Fresno and is accessible for viewing from outside, though it is currently unoccupied. The best time to visit is during daytime when natural light shows the architectural details on the facade and first-floor windows most clearly.

The building has stood empty for decades; it was already vacant when listed on the National Register in 1982. In 2009 it was sold to the Fresno-based Penstar Group, and there has been speculation that Fresno County district attorney offices could move in.
