SAFETY
Be careful and aware at all times in the cities and tourist areas. In Rome the metro is sufficiently safe but don’t be unwise.
In areas like the train station or bus depot, do not turn loose of your bags. It is a common practice for thieves to distract you, run off with your bag, search it for money and dump it.
Thieves are expert at reaching undetected into pockets, backpacks and purses in crowded places. Your best bet is to carry your valuables in a small, unobtrusive pack under your clothes.
Note that in Italy you are required to carry government issued ID (your passport) at all times. Honestly, just do it. Keep it in the pack under your clothes if you are nervous about it.
