Many thanks

yes, Robert the area you refer to is susceptible to earthquakes as is almost the entire italian peninsula.However the last heavy one was in 1998.As far as i'm aware it's still not possible to insure against it here but i've heard the LLoyds and others in the uk will insure against earthquake damage.Welive in the same area and are not insured for this.
