PERSONAL SENSE OF RISK
Insurance posters, along with the art they often contain, unexpectedly allow us to delve into the fascinating and complex theme of risk. The journey will encompass individual and cultural perceptions and evaluations of risk, various approaches and perspectives of study, risk communication, research findings with the University La Sapienza of Rome, and the persuasive mechanisms and motivational levers that emerge from the insurance posters displayed in the Museum.
RISK: PERCEPTION, MANAGEMENT, PSYCHO-SOCIAL AND MOTIVATIONAL LEVERS OF COMMUNICATION
HISTORY AND INSURANCES
Tales from the history of insurance revolve around the history of human beings from the 13th century to modern times. We remember the great events of history, but we often don't know how insurance has evolved around the needs and perceptions of people in different historical eras. The journey revolves around historical moments and realities of lived life, through emotional and sometimes curious tales and anecdotes, which provide insight into the spirit of insurance from its beginnings onwards.
THE EVOLUTION OF INSURANCE THROUGH HISTORY
FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Understanding risk and managing it from a financial perspective, with the stimulus provided by the historical material in the Museum, is the basis for financial literacy, which can help us to make informed choices and wise financial decisions, influencing our future. Those who are more competent make better decisions. Those who are less competent easily make bad choices.
This course provides a basic understanding of essential financial skills: available budget, savings, investments, timing, debt management.

COURSE 1
HAIL PROTECTOR'S HISTORY
In the first half of the 19th century, scientists and others engaged in a clumsy and heated debate, which they believed was rooted in scientific experimentation, on how to prevent the much-feared hail from causing serious damage to agriculture. If the lightning rod, invented and successfully applied by Benjamin Franklin in 1752, was so effective, why shouldn’t there be a method to "prevent hail" using a similar mechanism? As a result, amusing theories emerged suggesting that certain types of straw ropes could prevent the formation of frozen hailstones, depending on their characteristics and placement on special wooden poles. Naturally, insurance companies followed the discussion with keen interest.

WAR INSURANCE
Insurance has always adapted to the protection needs of people throughout different historical periods. War times, of course, are no exception, generating significant anxiety and concern. It’s fascinating to trace the stages of this journey, which include wartime events such as the French conflicts of the nineteenth century, which called many young people to arms for extended periods, as well as those of the Second World War. You’ll see, for example, how insurers devised coverage to mitigate or replace the call to war, and how they ultimately had to yield to the Nazi regime regarding compensation for the Jews.

MERCHANT'S HISTORY
The merchant is the new man of the Middle Ages. From 1300 onward, the economy throughout Europe begins to shift away from agriculture: mercantile activity emerges and develops rapidly.
The medieval merchant not only knows how to read and write; he is a cultured individual. He understands and speaks at least three languages essential for his trade, travels extensively, and adapts to being away from home for long periods. He has studied mathematics and knows how to apply the double-entry bookkeeping system to his accounts. Often, in addition to his trade, he engages in monetary or credit activities and may run a bank. He is a God-fearing man, able to balance a deep trust in Him with a calculated approach to the risks he is unwilling to take recklessly. Thus, he invents insurance because he is willing to earn less in order to live peacefully.

FIRES IN HISTORY AND INSURERS' CREATIVITY
You don't have to go back to 64 AD to realize that after the fire of Rome there were many great fires that destroyed entire cities, both before and after the Great Fire of London in 1666. The causes of these frequent calamities are many. First of all, the extensive use of wood and other easily combustible materials, including tar, in the construction of buildings; then the widespread incautious use of fire for work or, more simply, for cooking or for heating; and finally, the fact that, over time, the center of cities was built with houses leaning against each other, favoring the spread of flames and thus hindering their extinguishing. It is natural to ask: why had insurers, who since the Middle Ages had shown themselves ready to take on the risks of the sea, not shown the same courage in insuring the risks of fire and waited four centuries to do so? The cause is probably to be found in the impossibility of having statistics on the matter - essential for the insurer's profession - but above all in the catastrophic nature that a fire could assume which alone could have affected a large number of insured buildings, if not all of them.
