When people think of Italy, they picture sun-drenched coastlines, fine wine, and exquisite cuisine. The stock market? Rarely. But it’s worth a second look.
Italy isn’t just a land of indulgence—it’s also a land of banks. Financial institutions account for a remarkable 30% of the country’s total market capitalization. With UniCredit and Intesa Sanpaolo, two of the most valuable banks in the Eurozone call Italy home.
And they’re not alone: Four more banks rank among Italy’s top 20 publicly listed companies. Add to that strong performers from other sectors, and you get a stock market that has delivered an impressive performance in 2025.
