I have house insurance with a local (marche ) insurance broker, it costs around €200/year, the house is 150m2.....maybe a local broker to you will have a good deal?

We've been with thses for a few years now and although we've never had cause to claim they don't seem too expensinve. They won't insure the house though if you are living in it - only holiday homes.

...............Robertson McIssac. This is who we use and although we have never had to make a claim, so do not know how they would be in that situation, we have always found them very efficient in all other dealings and are reasonably priced too. They also cover for earthquakes. Here is a link to their page -

Hi - I use Intasure as I like to see the policy in English.  There are conditions regarding leaving the place unoccupied in the winter but these applied to other insurances as well and were common sense (especially given the recent weather!).  Their web address is http://www.intasure.com.

In general insurance companies will not cover you for earthquake damage in the whole of Italy. Apparently some do but you must ask the question! We use Saga who seem OK but then you have to be of a certain age I think.
