CARUSO'S LIFE INSURANCE POLICY CARUSO, ENRICO. Partly-printed Document Signed, office copy of a life insurance policy valued at 100,000 lire insuring him, and naming his son Rodolfo as beneficiary, issued by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, in Italian and English. Signed at lower left of first page. 2 pages, folio, with integral blank; small hole and remnants of adhesive at upper left, folds, various scattered company ink stamps and a blind stamp. New York, 10 April 1903
This policy is a 20-year endowment policy, meaning that it would not mature until 1923; since Caruso died in 1921, he narrowly missed the opportunity to collect the endowment himself.
