1995
Intuition and debut
Area Assistenza was founded in the city of Reggio Emilia and the following year in Bologna, with the aim of issuing travel insurance policies in a specific market niche: health care for travelers. All made possible by the partnership with an insurance company specialized in the travel insurance segment.
Soon after, the agency started receiving requests from foreign nationals who needed to subscribe for a travel insurance policy to obtain an incoming visa to Schengen countries on behalf of their family and friend who wished to request a vista to come to Italy.
From visa application the agency started specializing on immigration issues related to immigration procedures such as residence permits ecc.
The next move was then to identify "Area Assistenza – agenzia per stranieri" ( literally, agency foreign nationals )
A beta version of a website, two little agencies, but the need for such a a specialized service started to expand accross territorial boundaries and to expand.
2003 - 2005
The Franchising that works
In 2005 the project of building a national franchising network comes to life.
Area Assistenza Franchising Network receives the Franchising Award for “giving life to a new profession”
Growth happens immediately accross the Italian cities, services and products start to multiply providing a full range of services to our customers.

Changing developments in ownership meant that Extrabanca became part of the share capital of Gruppo Europa.
