While talking about travel insurance, I cannot avoid to mention that technically, modern insurance began in Italy in the 12th Century, when groups of people provided protection against the travel on the seas. They signed their names at the bottom of an insurance contract and were called "underwriters". Today such a contract is called a policy, from the Italian word "polizza" meaning "promise".
I do hope that you will find this article interesting and useful and hoping to hear your comments and suggestions.
