Traveling to Italy, typically have used Allianz but considering World Nomad travel insurance. Has anyone used World Nomad travel insurance?

I have not used Nomad before, but I recently had an outstanding experience with Faye Travel Insurance. Please read my story:
As an 80-year-old and fervent journeyer, I must have traveled many thousands of miles. In all those years, I never took out travel insurance, thinking that it was not worth the cost. Yet, with my latest planned vacation to the Dominican Republic, I took out insurance with Faye Travel Insurance. I am not sure why. It was my first time. Lo and behold, I fell ill two days before my flight out. I immediately set the insurance request to work. Suffice it to say that within five weeks after sending in my application, I was reimbursed for the full travel cost. This, after filling out--and obtaining--the necessary documents, of course. But the team at Faye was always helpful and patient.
In July I will be traveling to Amsterdam. Having learned my lesson, I will again engage Faye. And wherever you travel...I advise you to do the same.

I used to buy World omads because they were considerably cheaper and appeared to have the same coverage as other companies. I never had a claim. However, they have an age limit (70), so I can no longer get coverage from them.

In regard to World Nomads age limit:
World Nomads partners with TripAssure to provide trip protection for Silver Nomads aged 70 and over. We’ve selected TripAssure, a Generali brand, based on experience, professionalism and values. With a package of benefits, including Trip Cancellation, Medical Expense, Medical Evacuation coverage (and more), the Trip Assure plan provides confidence to keep exploring.

I purchased World Nomad for a South America trip that required a specific amount of evacuation coverage and it was the cheapest option at the time. I did not have to use those services thankfully so I can't comment on the quality of the company's service.
You can also compare many different companies on Insuremytrip or Squaremouth. Both sites allow you to filter by various coverages, prices, and also include user reviews. But World Nomad is not among the choices on those sites. If World Nomads covers what you want, at a price you are ok with, and the fine print is acceptable to you, then go for it.
