Sometimes I find myself having a moment of “man is your job awesome.” Despite the fact that we have stress coming out of our ears (think smoke when a cartoon character eats something spicy), yesterday I had a legitimately fantastic day doing broker calls in the Padova area. In the course of one day, I visited brokers in Treviso, Mestre (a stones throw from Venice), and Padova before heading back to Milan.
We talked about insurance, re-enforcing what I have noticed in the past year working in the Italian Insurance market. That is to say that the business itself doesn’t change. Brokers want better premiums, higher commissions, better coverage terms and quicker policy issuance. What did change?
I had a delicious lunch of pasta and then tuna, a lovely glass of Prosecco, 5 different coffee breaks and the fact that the car we travelled in was a quarter of the size of my old Ford Explorer in New York.

You are living la dolce vita. Prosecco at lunch? Must be nice!
You bet. Makes talking about Professional Liability for Accountants much much more interesting!
Plus Venetian cusine is very interesting and different in respect to what you find in say, Rome or Napoli
