Banca Rotta

Banca Rotta is a series of money changer’s tables from the 1600s that Goldin+Senneby have had sawn in half. The word bank derives from the Old Italian word for these tables, “banca” (comparable to bench in English). When a money changer in Florence went bankrupt, his trading table was destroyed — “banca” became “banca rotta,” broken bench.
