Wide Group, one of Italy’s leading insurance brokerage firms—characterized by an operating model that places the intermediary at the center and supports them through an advanced technological infrastructure—announces the acquisition of Broker Net Italia (BNI), an insurance company based in Prato that has been active since 2000.

This operation is part of Wide Group’s growth strategy, which focuses on aggregating long-standing and highly specialized firms to further expand the portfolio of tailored solutions offered to its clientele.

BNI was founded by insurance professionals with the goal of meeting the growing demand for highly specialized local consultancy. Over time, it has become a benchmark for companies, public entities, professionals, and private individuals. Through this integration, Wide Group strengthens its presence in Tuscany, adding a new hub in Prato to its existing office in Piombino.

A defining feature of BNI is the blend of tradition and innovation: under the leadership of Sole Director Enrico Claudio Cini, the company aims to make the customer experience increasingly simple, efficient, and digital by adopting innovative technological solutions. The strategic alignment between the two entities created the conditions for a natural synergy, with the shared goal of offering a service that is closer to client needs and oriented toward proactive risk management.

Gianluca Melani, Gerardo Di Francesco, and Matteo Barbini, Co-founders of Wide Group, stated:

"This operation represents a further step in our development plan and strengthens Wide Group’s local presence, expanding specialized expertise for the benefit of our clients and partners. The entry of Broker Net Italia confirms the solidity and effectiveness of the operating model we have built over time. BNI’s experience and innovative drive will enrich our ecosystem."

Enrico Claudio Cini added: "Joining Wide Group represents a strategic milestone in the growth path we have undertaken in recent years. Our desire to constantly improve the quality of services offered to clients, combined with the awareness that critical mass and efficiency are decisive factors for competing in the insurance brokerage market, led us to take this important step."

Why Wide Group supports the Alta Badia stage of the Ski World Cup

Wide Group has always supported events that convey core values, such as sports. It is with this vision that our long-standing sponsorship of the Alta Badia Ski World Cup - one of the most iconic events on the international sporting calendar - is established.

This event in the heart of the Dolomites is about more than just spectacle and competition; it is a complex organizational machine that creates an incredible two-day experience for spectators, participants, and sponsors working alongside the Committee.

The deep connection with the South Tyrolean territory, the location of the Group’s registered office and its co-founding in Bolzano, and our extensive insurance expertise as a leading consultancy, motivate Wide Group to support and protect the event on the Gran Risa and beyond.

With solid skills and sector-specific expertise, Wide Group designs the best insurance solutions to ensure safety during events, covering both permanent and temporary structures used for hospitality, dining, and entertainment.

General Liability for lift operators, the protection of organizers, and the management of associated risks are central elements in ensuring the event runs in total safety, in compliance with regulations, and for the protection of athletes, staff, and the public. This is precisely where Wide Group has operated for years, supporting those working behind the scenes of major sporting events.

Furthermore, we focus on the protection of ski lift facilities, which involves both mandatory coverage for skiers (Third-Party Liability) and specific policies for the operators themselves. For skiers, a Third-Party Liability (TPL) policy is mandatory to cover damages caused to others. For operators, policies are complex, covering infrastructure damage, public liability toward passengers, and business interruption.

For Wide Group, being a sponsor of the Alta Badia Ski World Cup means sharing values such as reliability, technical competence, and territorial commitment, while supporting an event that merges sport, innovation, and responsibility.

It is a partnership rooted in tradition but looking toward the future, with the same precision and solidity required to face every descent… and every challenge.
