139. "The story of the gold deposited at the Bank of Italy (1943-1958)". In Nazi gold: the London Conference, 2-4 December 1997, 323-344. London: HMSO, 1997. Note: In 1943, the German military ordered the transfer of the Bank of Italy's gold reserves to the North to keep it away from the Allied advance. It was transferred in two shipments in September to Milan and then later to an armoured tunnel in Fortezza. In 1944 the gold was signed over to the Germans and a shipment was made to Berlin in February. A second shipment was sent to Switzerland to settle Swiss National Bank debts and then another shipment was sent to Berlin. In 1945 all the Italian gold was moved from Berlin - some of it was sent to the Merkers salt mine. Shelved in the NARA Library at HV6665.G3L66 1997. Summary filed in library at Z1. Online: wjc.org.il. Bank of Italy was invested in LTCM!
