The Bancitaly Corporation provided a grant to the University of California in tribute to its organizer and past president, Amadeo Peter Giannini of San Francisco, which led to the creation of The Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics in 1930. Giannini Foundation members are University of California faculty and Cooperative Extension specialists in agricultural and resource economics on the Berkeley, Davis and Riverside campuses. The Foundation promotes and supports research and outreach activities in agricultural economics and rural development relevant to California.
