The director
The person who will handle your file
In a firm like BS Assicurazioni there is no department to be transferred to. The person who listens to you at the first meeting is the same person who will negotiate with the insurer and who will answer when there is a claim.

Profile
Simone Berta
Director of BS Assicurazioni, Ascona · Partner of Duemila SA · AFA-certified insurance intermediary
Simone Berta has worked in insurance since 2019 and obtained the AFA federal certificate as an insurance intermediary in 2021. He began with a major company — almost five years at AXA, in the Locarno office, in the property, liability and life branches — before moving on to wealth advice and then, with Assura, to the inside of a health insurer: a year in the Client and Market Department, seeing how LAMal/KVG works from the other side of the table.
Since 2026 he has been a partner of Duemila SA, a Ticino brokerage active since 1998, where he looks after basic health insurance and supplementary health cover. With BS Assicurazioni he applies the same approach to everything that comes after health insurance: pensions, risk cover, private assets, vehicles and businesses.
He speaks Italian and Portuguese (C2), German (B2) and French (B1): an uncommon combination in the Locarno area, where the Portuguese-speaking community is the second largest after the Italian-speaking one. As a non-tied intermediary he acts in the client's interest, not in the insurers': he compares the market, discloses how he is remunerated and retains responsibility for the file over time.
A policy is judged on the day of the claim, not on the day of signature.
