Production Insurance

Here is how this works in practice. Production insurance in Italy starts with statutory obligations that no foreign broker can short-cut. INAIL workers' accident coverage is mandatory for every crew member on Italian payroll, ENPALS inputs feed the entertainment industry pension scheme, and CCNL Cinema Audiovisivo dictates the medical and accident provisions that must sit alongside any commercial policy.

Here is the short of it. Heritage shoots add another layer: Soprintendenza permits at the Roman Forum, Pompei, the Uffizi or Venice's Doge's Palace typically need named liability cover at limits well above the commercial baseline, and the MiC application file expects evidence that coverage matches the shooting plan. Our brokers work daily with Italian entertainment underwriters at Lloyd's Milan, Reale Mutua, Generali and specialty London markets, so the policies we place satisfy the comune, the Soprintendenza, the TV networks and the financier in the same document set.

Here is the breakdown. Each engagement begins with a risk assessment that maps locations, talent, gear value, stunts, water and aerial work, and the broadcast or theatrical distribution chain that will later demand E&O. We design coverage that bundles cast insurance, negative and faulty stock, props and sets, public liability, employer liability, hired-in gear, vehicle cover and travel — then bind it through brokers who know both Italian rules and the global expectations of US studios, UK TV networks and streaming sites.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Certificates of insurance ship within twenty-four hours of binding so location agreements at Cinecittà, masseria estates in Apulia or hotel suites on Lake Como can close on schedule. Claims handling is in-house, with records, INAIL liaison and rapid resolution that keeps the production moving rather than parked.
