What was the name bank of America before it was bank of America?

Before it became Bank of America, the institution was originally known as "Bank of Italy," which was founded in 1904 in San Francisco.

The bank grew significantly through acquisitions and expansions, becoming one of the largest financial institutions in the United States.
