We have travelled to Italy a number of times and were concerned, but with
some precautions have been very lucky. I did have my wallet taken in the
Florence train station, but it followed a foolish action on my part so I
kind of set myself up. I travel with a purse that zips closed and a waist
(fanny) pack that zips closed. When I know we will be in heavy traffic or I
might be distracted I use a large safety pin to pin the zippers to the
handle. It takes a little effort than just slipping it open. I still use a
waist money belt for cash and travellers checks and I don't use a back pack.
We did purchase a small one in London, but I plan only to use it for rain
gear and tour books. With all the trips we have taken I only had one bad
experience. I suggest you wear your purse over your shoulder from side to
side not just hanging from one shoulder. Just be alert and aware and have a
good trip.
