What does Walt Disney, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marshall Plan have in common? All of them were touched by one of the most important Italian immigrants in American history: Amadeo Peter "AP" Giannini (Narrated by Giorgio Cantarini, Academy Award-winning movie "Life Is Beautiful"), who came to San Francisco and founded the iconic Bank of America, a revolutionary financier who believed in social mobility and the birth of Hollywood...before anyone else.
AP Giannini's legacy spanned from the Gold Rush to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, diving into the Great Depression and World War II. Come and discover this exciting real life story and how he made millions of Americans dreams come true and his own.
