Located on what was once known as “South Philly Bankers Row”, Banca d’Bozzeli was an Italian bank constructed in 1892 that acted as conduit for local Italian immigrants in each neighborhood for sending money back to the homeland and facilitating travel for their families to join them here in America. The owner of the bank, Lorenzo Bozzelli, eventually decided to build a larger bank and to include a clock tower to attract business. The Renaissance Style addition to the bank was completed in 1903. The building was sold to the Pizza (yes Pizza) family 1943 who repurposed the store into a grocery store. The building has always been, and continues to this day, to be operated and owned by immigrants.
