Wide Group acquires Capozucca Broker

Pollen Street today announces that Wide Group has acquired Capozucca Insurance Broker S.r.l. (“Capozucca”), a second-generation insurance broker headquartered in Civitanova Marche, in the Marche region on Italy’s Adriatic coast.

Capozucca provides tailored non-life insurance solutions to businesses and professionals, with particular depth in road haulage and logistics alongside surety bonds. The acquisition deepens Wide’s specialist capability in transport risk and strengthens its presence in the Marche region. Ezio Capozucca will continue to lead the business and retains a shareholding in Wide Group, aligning him with the platform’s continued growth.

Ezio Capozucca, Director of Capozucca Broker, commented: “The shared values and long-term vision between Capozucca Broker and Wide Group provide the strategic foundation for this integration, which aims to deliver an even higher level of service to our clients while benefiting from the quality of Wide Group’s people, expertise, and technological capabilities. This partnership, further strengthened by Capozucca’s ongoing shareholding in Wide Group, enhances our ability to provide tailored and effective insurance solutions while ensuring continuity and close client relationships”.

Gianluca Melani, Gerardo Di Francesco, and Matteo Barbini, Co-founders of Wide Group, commented: “Capozucca’s entry marks another important step in Wide Group’s growth journey and further strengthens our ability to support businesses with increasingly specialised expertise. Today, the broker’s role extends far beyond intermediation: it is about understanding the specific risks of each industry and designing tailored insurance solutions. Capozucca’s longstanding experience in the logistics sector, combined with its strong roots in the Marche region, enriches our expertise and enables us to deliver even greater value to our clients.”

This is the 24^th deal completed since Pollen Street’s investment in August 2023 and further demonstrates the momentum of Wide’s buy-and-build strategy in the fragmented Italian commercial insurance broking market.
