I‘ve been living here since i was a kid and i‘ve never experienced a safer city. I feel safe when going home and don‘t have to worry at all. Also the public transport is very safe and I don‘t feel threatened at all.

It's a small town near Monza, I haven't been here a lot but we usually leave the outside door and the gate open all day and it's normal for them.

Usually is a quite safe city, mostly people are chill, except for some drug dealers but usually you don't see them around. I go around alone most of the time and people avoid contacts, so in my city is pretty safe to go around

Trieste is a pretty safe city. It is small, cozy and quiet so rarely you will hear about serious crimes. The most unfortunate thing happened to me was when my umbrella was stolen during the rainy season:)

In the morning and in the afternoon it’s safe, you have to take care of your belongings in the public transport and in the crowded areas tho. Try not to walk in dark or empty streets at night, and avoid the night bus

It is safe during day but there are some parts of the town you should be careful. A predominantly immigrant population lives in these regions. But the city center is gorgeous. If you want to travel torino, I higly recommend to stay around city center. Also you should know that public transportation is ended after midnight and starts at 5 a.m

Treviso is a small town where crime is relatively low, the center is extremely safe and walking at night alone is not scary at all. It’s better to avoid the station area very late at night anyway. Public transports are safe yet not very frequent

Overall situation is not bad, just make sure to avoid certain quarter such as Porta al serraglio station, especially at night. Sometimes you can be approached by some men in a non comfortable way and that can be annoying.

walking around Rome at night is completely safe, but it depends from the zone. All of the areas are full of character and very lively, even after the sun goes down. Prati is the most safest area, but you have always to be prudent

I would say that there is almost nothing to worry about here in Mantova. I suggest to stay away from the station by night. During winter the city will be pretty empty. “Dangerous” places are not close to the city center.
