I am trying to buy home insurance for a property I just purchased in Tuscany. The only insurance companies I can find that will insure properties in Italy are UK based. Its come to my attention that these UK based companies will only insure UK Citizens. :doh: Could some of you folks give us some leads on company's that will insure US Citizens? Thanks in advance.

I am sure that local companies such as AllianzRas will provide cover for houses owned by US citizens. Suggest you ask the Agent you bought through for an introduction to one. Plenty of US citizens own properties in Italy so there is a solution to this. Would have thought that US insurance cos provide overseas insurance too

Generali will insure you. Check . Also, it may be a good idea to contact your bank in Italy as they generally offer those services. We have insured with our bank, Monte dei Paschi without any problems and their rates were fine.

Hi, we just renewed our buildings and contents insurance with Unipol - The site come up with an English version option.聽 We didn't compare them to anyone else as we only renewed the day before we left Italy however I was told by a friend to have a look at directline.it Hope this helps.
