The story of a dreamer… Envisioning a socio-economic utopia, A. P. Giannini was not a typical banking tycoon. With a socially enlightened heart, he made the American dream a reality, not just for himself, but for society as a whole.

His influences and hard work can be seen all over the country, simply because he believed in “a more general distribution of wealth and happiness.”

Italian, My Way gives yo...
