Very early publication of the insurance company Assicurazioni Generali that has been established on December 26, 1831, and the first about their specific service, “Beneficenza de’ notabili” a special form of investment, a tontine for a higher number of participants.

The company, that was established by a group of notable Jewish families of Trieste and Venice, unlike the most of the Trieste based compatitive insurance companies, provided services not merely for maritime and flood insurance but also land, life, pension and any area of insurance that permitted by law.

The underwriter of the broshure is Giuseppe Lazzano Morpurgo the founder of the company.

One of the earliest publications from the founding epoch of Generali, which in a few years became the largest insurance company in Italy and today the fifth-largest in Europe. Scarce document from the earliest time of Generali. We could not trace any copy in institutional holdings.
