poste Italiane
if you look at their web site youll see that they DO offer insurance for landslides and earthquakes the link is posteassicura casa.
I think the question of earthquakes is a tricky one.If you are a worrier then maybe you need to look at the less risky areas of Italy like Liguria or Puglia?I noticed that very few buyers in Abruzzo seem to be aware of the risk there despite the fact that Caramanico Terme and Ortona have both been devistated by earthquakes albiet many,many, years ago.Some scientists believe that due to global warming earthquakes are going to become more frequent.
Another concern for many parts of Italy are landslides which seem to have increased from 500 a year in 1900 to 2,500 a year in 1989.A previous threat posted by Will suggest that bad farming practises may be to blame in many areas.
If you really have your heart set on Italy then you will want to live there regardless as every country has its own risks.However it may be sensible to do a bit of research into your area before comitting to buy.
Good Luck
