Amica Mutual Insurance

Amica Mutual Insurance is an American mutual insurance company which sells automobile, homeowners, marine, personal umbrella liability, and life insurance, founded in 1907. It employs more than 3,200 people in 40 offices across the United States, and is headquartered in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

Company history

Automobile Mutual Insurance Company of America was founded by A.T. Vigneron in 1907 in Providence, Rhode Island, offering auto, fire and theft insurance.

Amica was organized as a mutual insurance company, meaning that the company was owned by policyholders rather than stockholders.

In 1941, Amica opened its first branch office in Boston, Massachusetts. The company added homeowners' insurance in 1956 and later added marine and personal excess liability insurance. In 1970, Amica Life Insurance began. In 1994, Amica's corporate offices moved from Providence, Rhode Island, to a much larger campus in nearby Lincoln.

Amica (opera)

Amica is an opera in two acts by Pietro Mascagni, originally composed to a libretto by Paul Bérel (the pseudonym of Paul de Choudens). The only opera by Mascagni with a French libretto, it was an immediate success with both the audience and the critics on its opening night at the Théâtre du Casino in Monte-Carlo on 16 March 1905. Mascagni himself conducted the performance. The opera had its Italian premiere (with an Italian libretto by Mascagni's close collaborator, Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti) on 13 May 1905 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome.

However, like many of Mascagni's operas apart from Cavalleria rusticana, the work then fell into obscurity. One of its few revivals in modern times was on 4 August 2007 at the Festival della Valle d'Itria, using the original French libretto. (It has been released on CD and DVD. See below.). In October 2008, Opera di Roma used the Italian libretto for a new production of Amica in collaboration with Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Teatro Carlo Goldoni in Livorno.
