DUAL has appointed Francesca Giurato as underwriting director, fine art for DUAL Europe, as well as underwriting director, fine art for DUAL Italia.

Based in Milan, Italy, Giurato has over 20 years’ industry experience. She was previously at Chubb then at AXA XL for 12 years, most recently as underwriting manager, fine art and specie.

“I am proud to take on this dual role and recognise it as a great professional opportunity,” Giurato said. “My goal will be to strengthen the presence of DUAL in the Italian fine art market and to coordinate the European development of this business with a strong and integrated growth strategy. Fine art is a niche market, and each country will have its own specific distinctions that I very much look forward to emphasising.”

“I’m delighted to welcome Francesca to our team,” said Maurizio Ghilosso, executive chair of DUAL Europe and managing director of DUAL Italia. “Francesca brings to DUAL a strong mix of expertise, experience and passion that are key to achieving our ambitions in the fine art line of business.”

“This new appointment for DUAL Europe demonstrates our ability to attract the best talent in the market, and Francesca’s wealth of knowledge and experience will be highly valuable to our broker partners,” said Olaf Jonda, CEO of DUAL Europe. “The fine art hub in Italy is the third hub we have set up in Europe, following cyber and M&A, which are both based in Germany. Each of these hubs bring the invaluable competitive edge that combines the most qualified expertise in the market with the strong long-term capacity of our carriers to all countries in DUAL Europe”
