We stayed near via del corso in rome and it was fine. This is a central main area near everything you will want to see. We walked all over and felt safe. Use common sense. Safety wallet and secure purse that is not easily opened. The only factor that is unsafe is crossing the street. The scooters and cabs haul arse and come from all directions. The bus mirrors hang over the curbs and you need to be aware since the streets are narrow. In florence there were gypsies. Just keep away from them and dont fall for scams. They will hand you a flower or beads and accost you for money. While you are arguing with them another will come from behind and look for an opportunity to get your wallet or phone or camera. Dont give anyone your luggage if getting on or off a train. The porters are probably gypsies and bye bye luggage.
