    The paper investigates an insurance market with Knightian uncertainty; in particular it focuses on the optimal design problem, where both the insurer and the insured have ambiguity on loss distribution. At first, the optimal insurance contract is obtained for the insured, supposing that the insurer perfectly knows the loss variable and is risk neutral. Then the result is extended to the case in which both the insurer and the insured have Knightian uncertainties. Finally, some special cases are treated in order to illustrate the optimal indemnity.
