History

Tranquilidade was founded as Companhia de Seguros Tranquilidade Portuense – Companhia de Seguros contra Fogo in 1871. By 1935 it was under control of José Ribeiro Espírito Santo Silva, and would later become part of the Espírito Santo Group. After the 1974 revolution in Portugal, the company was nationalized and merged with other insurance companies, and later reprivatised.

In 2015, in the aftermath of the demise of the Espírito Santo Group, it was sold to the Apollo Global Management fund for 215 million €.[1] In 2016 Tranquildade acquired Açoreana Seguros.[2]

In 2020 Apollo sold Tranquilidade to Italian group Generali for 600 million €.[3] Subsequently, Generalli merged it with its business units in Portugal and Tranquilidade became a brand name of Generali Seguros, S.A.

Since 2020, Tranquilidade has been advertised by Portuguese actress Mariana Monteiro.[4][5][6]
