Cultural Tip
In Italy, insurance policies often include a "franchigia" that the policyholder pays out‑of‑pocket before the insurer covers the rest. When speaking with agents, keep a courteous tone and use the formal "Lei" if you are not on a first‑name basis. Regional variations are minimal for this term, but some older contracts may use "franchigia minima" to indicate the minimum deductible.
