This article explores the policies of the Bank of Italy towards the eurodollar market - an international offshore money market- under the international monetary regime of Bretton Woods. It argues that the Bank of Italy used the eurodollar market to promote Italian economic growth and foreign trade. In addition, Via Nazionale invested part of its official reserves in the eurodollar market, through Italian banks, to help stabilize Bretton Woods and defend economic policy autonomy in the second half of the 1960s.

Keywords: Bretton Woods, Bank of Italy, commercial banks, Eurodollar market, central banks, international integration
