Generali Business Description

Address Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi, 2, Trieste, ITA, 34132
The roots of Generali date back to the 1830s and the Bora wind and rough seas that hit the Trieste region. Over that decade, Generali sought to expand throughout Italy, but growth was held back by the fragmented nature of Italy. The Italian Revolution in the 1840s paved the way for easier expansion in the country. After World War I, Trieste was handed back to Italy. The dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire created a fragmented Europe and a fragmented Generali. To this day, Generali remains quite a diversified company, with its core operations remaining in the historical Austro-Hungarian countries of Austria, Central and Eastern Europe, Germany, and Italy. France is also an important contributor to life and savings.
