Banco Rosso

Banco Rosso
The oldest pawnshop in the world. Jews were allowed to engage in only a few occupations, money lending being one. Since the population was largely illiterate, each pawnbroker used a different colored paper for their receipts. Banco Rosso used red slips, and thus the phrase "in the red" was born.
