Introduction: The study compares two banking systems that have marked and
 mark the current system in Europe and the Middle East. The Monti di Pietà of
 1500 and the Islamic banks which have developed several key features of the
 past, present the pillars of the Neo-Aristotelian concept of common good.
 Aim of the work: The study aims to identify the historical, cultural, and accounting
 factors, similarities, and ethical principles of the two models to identify key
 elements supporting the common good concept.
 Methodological approach: This study adopts a historiographical approach that
 delves into the relationship between narrative, interpretive, and explanatory
 history, in which it argues that the historical narrative involves elements of
 interpretation and explanation. Furthermore, a considerable importance is
 given to the banking environment’s political, religious, and regulatory aspects.
 Main findings: The analysis conducted traces ethical, cultural, and religious components,
 highlighting many aspects that confirm the starting theory and enrich its
 conception through financial models that are apparently distant from each other.
 The study highlights how reciprocity, solidarity, and support for the social fabric
 of growth have joint agreements and aspects characterizing the two models.
 Originality: The study provides and integrates significant elements on which
 the concept of the common good is based.
