What is the minimum bank balance required for the schengen/Italian visa?

Question

The affidavit of support asks for a balance of the checking and savings account of the person supporting me while I study abroad. Is there a minimum amount I need to meet in order to be eligible for the visa?

Answer 1

I've been looking for the same info and there it is.

For students financially dependent on their parents all of the following items are required:

a) Affidavit of Support from the parent/s addressed to this         Consulate, stating that the parent/s will assume full financial responsibility for any and all expenses incurred by the student during his/her stay in Italy. The signature/s must be notarized.

b) original letter from the parents’ bank on the bank letterhead with a bank official's signature, indicating the exact balance. A minimum of $900.00 per each month of stay in Italy is required.  This letter must have a recent date.

Well I have the whole list of requirements, let me know if you need it.
