re: Traveling and safety in Rome and Florence

Try to avoid the #64 bus in Rome. Every Travel Guide mentions the 64 bus. It is crammed to the gills and is a haven for pickpockets.
I warned my dad over and over, but he got pickpocketed on the 64 bus a couple years ago.
Otherwise, like others have said, keep alert, don't let a large group of small kids surround you, and if a "stranger" stops to talk to you, immediately put your hand on your wallet and be prepared to bolt.
You can wave off the gypsies with a simple hand gesture. They may curse at you in a Balkan language (which is quite funny--makes for a good story), but no harm, no foul.
And EAT GELATO EVERY DAY!!!
Have a great trip!
