Crime in Rome, Italy

Native from Rome here. I quit the capital because it wasn't as safe as rewarding as I fancied. It was not totally dangerous, but several areas or groups avoided, like the plague. Apparently, the commenter here who lived in ex-pat areas or hotels doesn't know what the crime index is for a city like Rome. I would say, at present, even closer to the red zone. Like in many Mediterranean countries, police in Rome are just holding the stress of the high pressure of criminalities increased by the number of refugees. Police in Vatican city only patrols their territory, which is big as a mall. 10 comments on this page don't make Rome a safe city btw. Crime is increasing lately as in many European cities, so be aware and grab your wallet.

I went for a few days in Rome 2019, I felt quite safe and I have looked after my staff so I always keep an eye on phone wallet, etc., never bother to talk with strangers, but I have noticed a lot of Afrikan and Muslim immigrants trying to sell some crap or maybe steal your stuff, a lot of gypsies be aware of them don't even stop if they try to make contact, avoid them like a plague, a lot of gypsies came from Romania. all those immigrants from 3rd world countries slowly ruing one of the most beautiful and historical cities in the world. I will come back to Rome definitely, but you need to be always on the lookout.
