Maybe they don't have ATM disasters but they were the ones behind the mortgage crisis. And when it comes to Italian banks, they would fall like flies if the government was not constantly rescuing them and allowing merges.

Also there has been bankruptcies lately:

And Italy... is basically a third world country that somehow exists as part of the eurozone. And yes is Italian banks that are the mayor problem. Well that and the government.
