Travel insurance for Italy
The National Health System is free for Italian citizens.
The emergency room is free for people living in the European Union, including Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland. In case of emergency the number to call is 112 ( at the moment this number is active in the following regions: Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio (put 06 in front), Liguria, Lombardia, Piemonte, Sicilia Orientale, Valle d’Aosta and in the Province of Trento and Bolzano). In the other regions call 118. If you don’t need immediate attention, make sure to first call your insurance company to know which are the affiliated hospitals

Before coming to Italy is strongly recommend to purchase a health insurance policy for the entire period of your visit. There are many insurance companies out there and we suggest to spend some time to find the best option for you before leaving. The general philosophy is: pay something now so you don’t have to pay a lot afterwards!
