Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno or Carifol in short, is a former Italian regional bank based in Foligno, Umbria. A subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo, the bank was merged with 3 other saving banks in Umbria to form Casse di Risparmio dell'Umbria in 2012.

Found 1857 in Foligno, Papal States, the bank had a philanthropic mission to operate a mount of piety and a saving bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio).

In 1992, due to Legge Amato, the daily banking operation, charity and ownership were separated into a società per azioni and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno (a banking foundation).Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde also immediately acquired 20% stake in the new limited company. The stake was diluted to 18.34% in 1996.

In July 1999 Banca Intesa the successor of Cariplo, acquired an additional 47.1% ownership from the foundation (reached 70.47% at the end of year 1999), as well as grouped 4 other saving banks in Central Italy (2 from Umbria, 2 from Lazio) to one intermediate holding company Holding Intesa Centro (which 97.63% stake of the holding was held by Intesa and the 3 banking foundations (except the Carivit Foundation) held the rest). In 2001, Ascoli was added into the mini-group, followed by Terni and Narni in 2003.

In 2007, Carifol followed the ultimate holding company to become part of Intesa Sanpaolo Group. In 2008 the group acquired Banca CR Firenze. Intesa Sanapolo sold the shares of Casse del Centro (ex-Holding Intesa Centro) to Banca CR Firenze, making the Florence bank becoming the new intermediate holding company.
