- Rome is known for its grand architecture and delicious food. But instead of showing you the Colosseum and the Pantheon we're going to see the other side of Rome, the Rome that tourists don't know about. Join me on an eye opening experience on the streets with legendary locals@cicalone and @FranchinoErCriminale

Curious to watch. I am from Milan, living in NYC for 2 decades. NYC seems to be going down the drain slowly. One step up, 2 back. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, I wonder why you do not shoot in linear mode with your camera (I assume a GoPro or similar), it would make them more appealing esthetically, without the fisheye effect.
You could try The Philippines or Vietnam or Laos?
Cento percento pizza napolitano is the best in Italia🙌🏽 everywhere south of Napoli area also Sicilia is same..numero uno..per tutti!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Polizia, Carabinieri mai loverato. Peter they do not work! Nice people but they show up for accidents and that’s about it. Others keep the order. Non vediamo niente!!! NIENTE! (We see nothing lmao)
Sorry this comment has nothing to do with the video I was watching some of your older Muslim videos it'd be awesome if you can reach out to one of your Muslim contacts and one of your Amish contacts and have them live a day in the life of each other's lives and once again you're amazing
love how they're going "oh man this place looks so bad it's a really rough area" and it looks like one of the high class areas of LA
I know! I was searching that building trying to see what they were talking about. And I live in a small city in Oregon that looks like crap in most neighborhoods!🤣
Be proud of ur trash city
European culture baby.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Awesome comment
I am Italian and lived in Rome, Termini station area is no where near what you get to see in San Francisco for example, where you see homeless drug addicts camping in the city center with an endless amount of needles on the sidewalk.. that's why Peter said "If this is the most dangerous area is not bad", because he knows better than him
Brother wait for meloni she will definitely do something and i have heard she will give shoot at sight orders for drug dealers and no tolerance policy for I'll lega gal immi grnats
@@socio-economicnewsnetwork4740 don't be ridiculous, none of that will happen. Much that I don't like the new government Italy is not going to turn into the Philippines like under Duterte's rule
I live in San Francisco. It's a shythole with makeup on.
It's all relative though. If the guide isn't well traveled. Then there is no reason for him to think rome is anything other than a catastrophe. There are plenty of other places in the world that make San Francisco look like paradise.
Yea i was in disbelief when he pointed at the 3-4 homeless guys sitting around saying this is a horrible area. This whole video was surprising. Aside from mafia type criminal activity and pick pockets. Does Italy have street gangs and much homicides?
Watching Peter constantly biting his tongue instead of saying "Guys, this is not even close to bad" over and over is the best part of this video.
Just check corviale or San Basilio to check the worst hoods of rome
I'm Italian, I visited Rome many times, it's really safe. Cicalone made a career on youtube by claiming it's dangerous so that's explain his point of view, however, again, compared to other cities in the world it's heaven. Not perfect ok, bad areas as everywere else, but not dangerous.
I mean its bad, just not USA bad, thats a different scale
right i commented that too, this is not even the hood its centre of the cit@@donatellatancioni1482
@typhvam5107 it's not even bad by european standards.
The dark side of Rome is a walk in the park in Rio de Janeiro. Greetings from senador camará - Rio.
I am from Rome, and this was one of the weirdest collabs I would have never expected 🤣
Me fa spacca l'accento del Cicalone
Had me in stitches the entire video... It was not supposed to be a comedy show, but turned out to be one. We definitely need episode 2.
Si infatti stra inaspettata questa collaborazione 😂
Cicalone parla una lingua inventata da lui
@@mondofuturistico più che altro imparasse un minimo a parlare inglese prima di fa ste collab 😂😂
I’m from São Paulo, Brasil, and have stayed in Rome for couple of days. My Airbnb was next to termini, and I’ve walked through the neighborhood in the day and night, and felt safer then any place here in São Paulo. Walk by night here you get a gun on your face, the most dangerous thing that can happen in Rome is your wallet been stolen without you noticing.
That's because you probably don't look like a tourist but one of the "locals" :D If I came to Sao Paolo with my white ass and freckled nose, I would get robbed on the first corner :D
An iranian tourist got stabbed in the exact same location shown in this video, during last week. Are you so sure? I mean, ofc in Brasil street gangs are all over the place, but Rome is not so safe aswell, expecially termini station at night. You can find every kind of drug addict, or more simply every kind of trouble maker. And the worst thing is that Termini Station is the first part of Rome that a tourist sees when He arrives. Trust me bro there is a complete degradation about that place. You were just lucky
Intakavel o crimezil kkk
@@PETERGREENDAY100 Ho vissuto a Termini per 4 anni, mi hanno fregato il borsellino solo una notte perché mi sono messo a parlare con i ragazzi davanti al McDonald. Big deal.
Se non interagisci con il degrado nessuno ti mette un coltello tra le costole, non facciamo gli esagerati.
@@biscottone3357 vallo a dire alla ragazza che hanno accoltellato… il degrado non ti disturba finché rimani nella stazione, appena esci un attimo da lì fidati che viene a cercarti anche se ti fai i cazzi tuoi
Anch’io ci sono stato per anni a termini, e ti dico che lasciare in questa condizione il primo luogo che un turista vede una volta arrivato a Roma, non è proprio il top
This is exactly how I would imagine an Italian from Italy would sound when they speak English.
I Want to hear you in italian
And by the way we speak your language better than you ours!

As an Italian, I have to say that their statements about taxes are quite exagerated and incorrect. Of course taxes are high, and citizens could and should get back a lot more of what they do, in terms of services. Of course we have a lot of corruption and bad spending of public money. But when they say we get NOTHING in return, that is incorrect and very populist. For starters, we get a good public and free school system, affordable and good universities, a good and cheap healthcare. They don't get any of those in the US. Also, they don't mention the appalling rate of tax fraud, which is a big factor in this. The problem is not just high taxes, it's mainly bad spending and tax fraud.
I think these things should be mentioned, if you want to show a balanced picture.
On the other hand, when the guy says the current mood in Italy is "depressed", I think he's absolutely spot-on.
The 'dark side' of Rome is the normal side of NYC.
Naples is worse than Rome
@@richas5421 yes but not worst than NYC
And NYC is the safest big city in the US.
Murders in Rome are far inferior to Los Angeles and other city in USA…16,500 killing in USA versus 400 in Italy👌🏻…
@@Simo2978 there’s obviously a demographical reason for that
Peter I'm a 75 year old lady here in Ireland...look forward to your videos on Sundays...always very interesting and informative..thank you.
I was just in Rome in December, (2023) and stayed about 3 blocks up from Termini Station. Yes, I saw some homeless people. But, after a day of wandering around, and coming and going, day and night, I felt safe. No problems whatsoever. Of course, I wouldn't go through that underpass at night, or wander down streets that weren't busy. I kept hearing all the 'be careful in Rome' comments, but it's not the case. Loved Rome. I also went to that food court shown in the station. Worth a visit. Great food. When you travel, travel savvy. I returned from a visit south to Rome to catch my flight. I gave my Trenitalia lunch box to a homeless person who really appreciated it.
I was in Rome for 4 days in June with my 19 year old daughter and felt completely safe. I do not look like an easy target to many. Rome is an incredible city to visit.
Perfect example of why Peter's channel is worth watching. Has regular, real people, on the real streets and lets them tell us what's going on and how they feel. Not staged incidents and actors acting as media telling us what to think and how to act.
OMG, we almost died 😲😱 COPS were called! Walking through the ghetto of Rome
@@Matt_Dagostino Good example. We can see these things are relative. The Italians in the vid think they got hard core crime and we see them going on about how bad it is. We get to see what the people think and not what the media tells us. So we can laugh here in the US realizing that the what the Italians think is bad is nothing compared to conditions in many places here. For instance where I live people who recently moved here have to be told, "Don't just go up driveways expecting to get halloween candy. Don't go up any driveways you don't know someone there or you might get shot. People around here like their privacy and don't like people in general, that's why they live here. There has been a few cases where they chased the person who invaded their property, chased hem down the road and had a shootout with them."
i just realize liberal screw all western countries
@@algernoncalydon3430 "So we can laugh here in the US realizing that the what the Italians think is bad is nothing compared to conditions in many places here" be proud of that lol
@@algernoncalydon3430 True crime here in Rome is not shown by these two clowns,
there's much more dangerous places to go to (Ostia Nuova to name one)
Cicalone rather make money on the unlucky lives of homeless people and trashy situations in Termini station (Also if you go see Cicalone's channel u'll see he made like 5 videos at least on Termini station, always saying the same shit)
we do have bad situations which come from poverty and abandoned hoods. Mostly the mafia heads are in quieter places coz they got the money to afford a nice villa on the outskirts of Rome.
But yeah Termini is not nearly the worst at all we got, sadly.
I have been in Rome five times, and I have always felt safe even late at night.
in the center of rome is normal you should see other hoods that are way more dangerous
Everybody is!
@@fabiogiuliani5432 I was during night at Termini, my hostel was there. Was quite dirty and dark, but wasn't dangerous as they said
@@dj-astum1965 a sirian girl was stabbed like 5 days ago in the train station
@@fleek2 I know that isn't a Swiss town, but only that for the most "dangerous neighborhood" and the description that received it's not much
Im from London and i walked through these areas and i felt way more safer than in London. Brushed off a group of “rowdy” beggars and tons of foreign streets scammers with ease. They became slightly annoying at worse but caused no harm.
Man, those street scammers are the worst part of Rome. Slightly annoying suggests you didn't stay there for long :D
@@sirianofmorley i swear most people who say bad things about places like this are just snowflakes who have no real world experience, any normal person knows how to brush off a bum, a druggy, a scammer. They're goal is to move on to the next person, NOT get into a fight.
Been to Rome many times, a stunning place and Italian people are so friendly i feel much safer there than in my nearest city here in the UK
what is your nearest uk city?
Because you don t go to bad areas. Idk im from marseille but i have sardinian father and algerian mom
@@lotuscabrio2937 because Rome have not that bad areas not even Corviale or Tor Bella Monaca could be compared to Marseille NYC LA Barcelona etc.
@RH yes of course, Itlay particularly the South people are very very warm, nothing compared to the UK where ignoring one another is a national sport.
@@AT-cy7im 🤣very true
As an expat living in Rome for nearly 10 years, Rome has a love it/hate it/love it again vibe to it. Cicalone, as an Italian, complains about the way things are, but the rate of crime in Rome and in general, Italy, is very low. Nobody denies the fact that there is petty theft everywhere near the tourist areas, but there's nothing more dangerous than that. Criminals know that the punishment for armed robbery or worse is high, so you may be tricked out of your money, but not mugged. I have taken oh so many bus rides in the dead on the night, but nothing has ever happened to me
Some people are saying the gang problem in Rome is becoming like it is in the U.S...but that's just ridiculous. The second that those "gangbanging" kids from the "hood" in Rome get raided by INTERPOL or whatever counter- terrorist organization those kids will piss their pants.
As an expat..?
You mean immigrant
Is it safe for women to travel alone?
where did you lived in rome? perhaps you played it easy and avoided all areas except downtown..Have a nice walk alone at 3 of the morning and than we can talk about it
@@lucyfiniarel2347 it depends... females should avoid areas nearby big train stations in Rome at night and usually the outskirts are not recommended for tourists, males and females (but of course females are more in dangerous, as always). You should be careful if you come home/hotel/ bnb late at night in every part of the city, even in city centre, because tourists, expecially women, are easy target
We were just in Italy earlier this year, and walked through these areas many times. Never had any issues or thought we were in a really dangerous area
Exactly. We took a bus from Termini 4am at night, just a couple homeless guys walking around, but there are also station workers who are doing their business, so it didn't look unsafe at all.
they have no profit to threat the tourists. They bring here a lot of money
As a dane having an apartment just outside Rome, I have to say that Termini, is a whole other planet. You can buy a car, a toilet, a tv or a mother down in those tunnels.
Mother 😂😂
Wouldn't trust that
That STILL is nowhere near as bad as the bad parts of many other world cities, especially in America.
@@EphemeralProductions Clearly you’ve never seen the conditions in Africa and Middle East.
@@nixwestlake9196 I said CITIES. I wasn’t talking about any non city areas
To the credit of Rome & Romans- I was lucky enough to study abroad & live in Trastevere in 2005. I was young & bringing suitcases of laundry to my boyfriend’s for cheaper cleaning (a expensive at the laundromat ☺️). I was stuck trying to carry 3 suitcases down a large flight of stairs at Termini (this station) & a swarm of young men swooped them up for me & delivered them to my train. They were so sweet & wouldn’t accept anything but smiles & thanks 🙏 ❤ Thank you so much for sharing!! A piece of my heart will forever be in Rome ❤
I’ve been to Rome three times for different occasions. Last time was four years ago. I felt absolutely safe. No issues. I even walked with my wife and kids around midnight to Saint Peters and back to our apartment. It was a good mile and a half walk. There are a lot of pickpocketers; but that is not a big deal if you are not showing up your stuff or have money on you.
to see the degradation and literally dangerous zone you have to go to areas outside the city center of rome, peripheral areas where there are large mafia organizations, in the city center the only one danger are pickpocketers😄👍 other city like naples and palermo are the center of large mafia criminal organizations that Italy is famous for🫠
This was very interesting, really enjoyed the locals taking us on a proper honest tour. Great 10/10 content.
I would like to clarify some aspects of the "Italian thoughts" mentioned in the video. They said that in Italy people pay up to 48%, and that's true, some in certain ways even more than that if we consider other kinds of taxations. The thing is that in Italy we have "free" healthcare, public school system up to high school and tax reduction for university students with low family income (you pay regional taxes, like 100€ per year, and in some cases that's it), and many services that in many other countries are private. The biggest problem is not taxation, but tax evasion, there are many that do not pay taxes and that added to the poor investment management that our political system had made in years, it has increased the number of taxes required but not the benefits received from them. Another aspect that was mentioned in the video was about pensions, most of elderly can't live with their pension, that is based on many reasons, but one that I would like to highlight is that young generations have problems in finding jobs, creating new opportunities, or get small jobs just to live, in the last few years there were more young people living with elders' pension rather than the opposite.
it's a real probleme in western europe;in my country (france)big companies and start up don't pay enough taxes but the "little" peole pays a lot
The bureaucracy is extremely bloated, public services rarely work as they should (as is the norm in the world, anyways), it's hard to start a business, the pension system is unsustainable. The problems in Italy are mostly the same as any European country nowadays, from Romania to Sweden. I personally think a little bit less gov. intervention would be welcome, however I don't - currently - live in Italy, so my opinion may not be "up to date".
@@cabaneseric4653 Not that I'm suggesting its right what they do. But I'm sure the little they pay is much more in value that the 48% of your salary.
Absolutely, yet at lunch time Italians envy no one on earth.
Sunday football? Nah Sunday we watch Peter
Peter than football 🏈
@_tmartinez_ this is hilarious. Football is Sunday routine tho
Yes 🙌🏽
💯
Football is generally played on a Saturday though 🤣
We walked all over Rome on a recent trip, including the area to the south east of Termini. Did not feel unsafe or threatened anywhere, even at night in the areas portrayed as dangerous in this video. Rome is probably safer than most large cities.
We were in Rome in summer 2019. Felt safe the whole time. We were warned to watch out for the typical pick pocket crimes or the typical tourist street scams but nothing regarding physical harm because there isn't any. It looked like the Italian guys were looking for crime that wasn't there, in other words, overstating the crime. In the summer the tourist to criminal ratio is likely 1000 to 1, or even higher. Any city on the world where the ratio is 1000 to 1 I would feel safe.
You have to consider that every city Is safer if you're a tourist bc you stay mainly in the center. Rome Is not super safe and in some places you have to be very careful.
Ohh it’s dangerous walk around after 2am
All of Italy is safe and has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
So what, there isn't a big city in the world you can say the same for, compared to other places Rome is super safe and the crimes are almost all petty.@@cata9380
Half English half Italian. Grew up and lived in Rome for 17 years.
This video is good in the way that there is nothing that it shows that is that bad. Yes there a drugs. That is really as bad as it gets.
Rome is extremely safe, clean, well policed etc. It’s a very good city, yes there is crime, but it’s really no way as bad as most other large/capital cities.
Hang around any main station and you’ll find crime.
I'm half Italian too and lived in Rome for 18 years. You are right, It is super safe and I never experienced any problems whatsoever and I was out all hours night and day. Termini was always a sketchy area. I even worked in an hotel next to the station and often did night shifts without any issues.
I,de rather walk around Rome at ten in the evening alone than my home city of Manchester England,and all Central stations have scummy people hanging around no matter where in the world you go and every city has it,s bad areas,Love Rome
I mean, one thing yiu can NOT say, is that Rome is extremely clean; it's not, it's probably one of the worst thing you can say about the whole city
@@EllisBoydRedding ok, if you say so…what’s your experience?
I enjoy watching Italians speak with there hands and listening to the Italian language or when they speak English. Watching him eat with chopsticks and speaking with his other hand was priceless.
Yes, Italians "speak" with their hands. Americans, on the contrary, just gesticulate without adding any meaning to what they say.
I am an American living in Rome for 34 years. Italy provides housing with free water and electricity to anyone who requires it. Granted, homes have no appliances, locks on doors and even broken windows. But little or no homeless in the city as a whole. Never seen a gun on the street either.
Those 2 Italian gentlemen were so cool! They give Italians a good name. I hope Italy isn't on the decline like they think it is, it's such a beautiful place just dripping with history... thank you Ciccalone and Criminale!
Thanks to sanctions It Will be worst for sure
Trust me I live in this country
In Italia, come in tutto il mondo, ci sono persone buone e cattive, luoghi meravigliosi che restano nel cuore e luoghi che invece vorresti dimenticare. Questo momento storico, dopo due anni di Covid, ci sta mettendo a dura prova e nelle piccole città si fatica a trovare lavoro. Siamo sempre pronti a regalare un sorriso e se non parliamo la vostra lingua, ci capiamo con i gesti e il buon cibo 😄. L'Italia è bella e ricca di storia e l'unico stato a forma di stivale! 😉 Ciao belli 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Ahahah it's so wierd you call him "Criminale" like if that was his surname
Anyway they both have RUclips and they (mostly Cicalone) make videos about all the problems of the city specifically for every neighborhood. If you know a bit of italian you should check them
@@simona3797 exactly
All of Europe is in decline i live in sweden like he said its was more family 20years ago. Now days ppl dont give a fuck about the community no more
Hahahah literally just stayed there for days, absolutely fine area 😂 Champagne palace hotel, came back late at night, didn’t bump into any unsavoury types, mostly just tourists. I’m from the U.K. and it made me feel safer than loads of neighbourhoods I’ve stayed in across the U.K.
the one guy just stopping to chat with the other one on the street is the most Italian thing! Love it 😂
You deserve so much more exposure. Idk your status I just happened to come across and glad I took a look. I’ve watched like 20 videos so far and I love your way of recording and letting the people tell you.
LOL, I've been to Roma Termini, ate right across the street, and the place is like heaven compared to most US cities. Sure, there are a few shady individuals, but overall, it's very nice.
basically you just took a trip around Stazione Termini wich is dangerous by night but thats it,theres no Compton or Watts areas in Rome...romans are good people and very hospitable and the city is AMAZING like his food
definetly one of the best places to visit ever
I’m here now, and I’m so fucking bored 😂
I’ve been studying Italian for the past three years. I’d love to visit one day. Thanks so much for this video. 🇮🇹
Speriamo di averti presto a Roma
@@StormKidification Anche io. Grazie mille.
I would love to visit the worst neighbor in Rome. Looks pretty nice. 😀
I travelled as a lone female to Rome for 5 days in 2018. I stayed about a ten minute walk from termini. It was fine ! No worse than any other European city. Bus stations are always absolute kips anyway.
Why wouldn't you get to know their culture of the people instead of studying a group sounds ill willed.
I look forward to these videos every Sunday. Always get taken on such a journey. Love the video!!
I’m so confused by this video lol. I was in Rome last month and stayed 10 min walk from that station. I didn’t go to the station, but the general area was completely safe day and night. Honestly the city is magical and not scary in the slightest.
You should go and look at some places in Glasgow, Scotland. Rome looks like a 5 star resort
What a treat to see three of my favorite content creators converge in this collaboration, and such a bonus to hear two of them speaking my native language when I usually have to exercise my second when watching their content.

I loved Rome when I went. Train stations are definitely places where you have to be aware but what city isn’t this way? Rome is extremely safe outside of termini. I walked all over the tourist area at all hours and had no issues nor did I experience anyone suspicious.
I definitely avoided termini. When I didn’t have a choice I was super prepped by pick pocket proofing myself. Can’t wait to go back.

@@marcfischetti5490 i think worst is relative. With that many people moving around etc the station and am sure with cops and CCTV
@@stevef8606 termini station has always been a dive, I remember it was even in the 80s but it’s a small area, walk 2 blocks and you’re in the centre of Rome which is super safe.
I was just in Rome, the Termini area is not bad at all we could walk peacefully even at night, there were no problems
This looks like heaven compared to the Bahnhofsviertel in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). You should go there if you want to see dirt! ;)
This is the kind of videos I come on RUclips to see. See and hear from real people, their views on their cities and things happening in their world, so much we can learn from them. Keep up the great work 🙏
Your videos gives the flip side of places, cities and counties the tourist and main media don't show. Forever greatful for you.
28:32 had me laughing out loud. Cicalone Neanderthal! Francino Australopithecus! 😅😂

The stuff that I already seen in Brazil makes that place looks like heaven.
Same with the U.S.
Are you italian descent
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd Nope =(
I just happen to be on my fourth day in Rome. There's no way to avoid Termini if you are coming from the Airport. The day I arrived, I felt I was in Newark NJ...but as I walked around the city, I felt a little more safer. That being said, Rome is to die for and the city offers so much. I would love to come back regardless.
Hey man next time just avoid the surronding streets Via Giolitti and Via Marsala and you'll be fine, that's where danger is. In front of Termini Station you have an important museum with safety cameras all around, "Baths of Diocleziano", I used to work there for almost 10 hours a day, never had a single problem
stay alert even while walking around, there are gypsies everywhere that slash your backpack
Yes if u come from the airport u can get out from the train in Tiburtina Station that’s better than Termini Station
Yeah she offers so much but the first problem are the Romans.
I hope to come there someday. :)
Thanks for sharing. Great video !
well done Peter! you couldn't find better people to explain how the situation is over there. Cicalone and Franchino are doing a great work to inform about roman and italian issues. as Franchino said, the serious matter is that the tunnel doesn't seem to have an exit in the future. God bless them, God bless my original country. .. And Yes, true italians live for the Family, there isn't anything more important than that in our lives, we will stand up and fight to death for it
I was going to downvote you for your support of Peter. There is no need for such disrespect and garbage being shown to those who aren't Itallian and are just looking for an experience in a new country. Show the good points of Rome, and mention that tourists should be careful near Termini.
Exatly Rome is unlivable, and tela you one of Rome.
@@Meira750 How about people's safety?? As someone who just moved to Rome, I needed to change buses on Termini more than once and passed by the tunnel more than once in my life, I think, being able to only suspect what's going on there... The image of the country is not more important than safety since those places are touristic! And plus, nothing can spoil Roma's beauty (and there are so many countries where the situation is way worse, even in the US)
Their accents are so cute
In 1992 and 2006, I arrived in Roma via the Termini station, and while it’s not the most attractive part of the city by any stretch of the imagination, I never felt unsafe at all. We even stayed at a hotel that was about two blocks from the station the first time. But I also lived and worked a lot of my life in different areas of NYC - still teach in what’s considered a very unsafe neighborhood in the Bronx - so I guess it’s all relative, based on your own experiences.
1970's, 1980's and 1990's were the golden decades of europe, dont exist anymore
I did some search and Rome doesn't even come up in the top ten most dangerous cities in Europe.
Seriously, the worst of Rome in only a few areas is a yawner for most Americans who live in big cities. Still, good info to know, even though I always feel safe in Rome.
Pete, you're content is top class. Great job.
Rome is my favorite! I was there last month. stayed near Termini and felt way safer there, than any US city.
Any US city? How about Freeport KS. There’s only 5 people there. I’m sorry you live in fear
Because you never been to more than one US city
This is what I grew up with, called journalism. Keep it up.
Thank you Peter. I’ll be visiting Rome in two weeks. Love your work!
Awesome video man... loving these Italy vlogs.
Great vid Peter!! Pleasure to meet Cicalone and Franchino.👍
Grande Cicaloneeee, i watch both of you guys and seeing a collaboration between you two is a very good thing :)
Fabulous content!
Thats a great video... We are traveling to Rome later in June and this helped me a bunch! Thanks.
I’m from italy and i know rome very well, i 100% agree with you on the fact that a lot of places in US are far more dangerous. If you come here in italy just pay attention to not get your wallet stolen (especially in train and bus stations) and try to avoid some places like termini during the night because things can get pretty wild especially if you are alone; but otherwise during the day it’s pretty safe everywhere :)
Si ma loro vedono solo le cose attraverso la sicurezza ma non è solo una questione di sicurezza, noi per fortuna non abbiamo le migliaia di senzatetto e tossici che hanno loro nelle grandi città, ma il nostro è un problema di decoro e degrado più che di sicurezza.
@@marcorossi2854 giusto, concordo con te
@A. M. La loro situazione coi senzatetto è diventata tragica, seguo un paio di canali americani che si occupano del tema, molte delle volte sono alcuni compassionevoli cittadini che privatamente decidono di aiutare i senzatetto perché se fosse per il loro governo li farebbero crepare tutti. Ogni nazione ha i suoi pregi e difetti ma paragonare le realtà sociali europee con quelle statunitensi ha poco senso, le differenze sono troppo grandi.
Lol, I felt safe
Are Italian people generally friendly to foreigners?
Cicalone english crashed my sould🤣 Grande Cicalone, er mejo de Roma
From Chicago, spent a month in Rome walked everywhere all times of the night sometimes solo, sometimes with friend. Never had an issue. My only issue was a guy who followed me from Naples back to Rome kept asking me to come with him, kept trying to grab my luggage handle.
Most probably not even an italian
Thank you peter, franchino and chicalone! Very interesting!
Always a great journey with you Peter. As someone who’s spent time in just about every major US city over the past 5 years, it’s my dream they were all as dangerous as Rome!
Even the most dangerous area of Rome doesn't look bad compared to South side Chicago
And to think the population of Chicago as a whole only has 2.697m compared to Romes 2.8m.
@@shortshorts920 you cannot look at it that way. You have to compare them by metropolitan area population and not the city itself. Otherwise you can get some weird results. Rome metropolitan area has more than 4 million people. Chicago’s close to 10.
Same story with Toronto or Paris. On paper Toronto has something like 2 million people in the city. But it doesn’t make sense to look at it that way. Paris? Only 2m residents in the city but it’s urban area has 13m. And now let’s compare it to let’s say Warsaw. Warsaw has close to 2 m people in the city. You could get an impression that it’s similar to Paris or Toronto, right? All of them have similar city population. Wrong. You see Paris is on a totally different level. With its 13m metro population it’s 4 times larger than Warsaw.
Non c'entra ...quello di cui tu stai parlando è periferia , termini è in centro
I love this kind of Urban Videos, "the other side"
These Italian guys are brilliant!
I went to Rome for the first this September and absolutely fell in love with the place. The best pasta in Italy I think. However, it is very true that the train station is not so nice. You can feel the tension. I wouldn't want to hang around there for too long or at night. Another great video👍
Real pasta & pizza, not counterfeit like in American
Roma is a fantastic city.
I go there every year, at least once or twice. For a week, for a weekend.
Never felt unsafe. Even after dark.
probably you were in prague
Amazing video! Bravissimo 👏
Excellent vlog 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Just found you, Peter and I love you! I'm planning my first trip ever to Italy next late Sept. It's been a lifelong dream. I had planned to see some of Rome's back streets while there, but this was a bit of a shock. Refreshing reality makes the video so entertaining. Now I know my trip will be even better if Cicalone is my personal tour guide. Thanks you and the two C's!
I’ve been to Tuscany, San Gimijano (maybe check spelling) Milan, Rome & never had any problems or even looked like anything was about to go off nearby.
These guys are entertaining, but seemed to only point out negative points.
I’ve watched Peter for a year or more & recommend you watch some of his other videos.
Enjoy the trip you make to Italy.
Another good one. Love the perspective. Paris and London next?
Che bella pubblicità che ci fa il Cicalone 👍🏻 Numero 1 davvero sei fortissimo🤦🏻♂️
These channels are so much better than TV. This is pure reality available for us to understand it
I like these guys, very fun to watch.
I was in Rome and Naples this past summer and I felt 100% safe there. Im from modesto / Stockton California and I'll be the first to tell you our cities are much more dangerous. In Rome you worrie about theft, pick pockets. In my city you worrie about being killed! Rome actually reminded me a lot of Oakland and San Francisco but without the ghetto street element if that makes sense.
I stayed near Terminii when in Rome and had zero problems. Was never scared or even looked at sideways. I loved Rome.
Termini is Dangerous when the night begins
@@nm0113 I was never out extremely late and most walked through to get to my hotel, at night. I am a decent size guy though so some may have thought twice. Never saw any incidents.
Just getting back from Rome on 10/18/2022. I stayed right across from the train station. Nothing happened !! Not even once. Everyone was minding their own business. Termini is NOT dangerous at all.
OMG Cicalone, I LOVE that guy!
Great video Peter!. I went to Rome & we walked right where he said for tourists not to walk not knowing 😂. Love your videos! ❤. The lady waving behind you at the end was great 😂
Thank you Peter, really appreciate everything you do, bringing the world and all its awesome landscapes, cities and cultures to us that, I, for one, would never see otherwise! If ever you want a trip around drizzely Yorkshire (UK) give me a shout! Thank you!
I certainly felt far safer in Rome at night than I do in Melbourne, Australia where I live.
Are you for real? I'm from Rome and when I think of Australia I think of it being way safer than Rome (except for wild animals and insects😂)
What is Melbourne unsafe for?
Ive been to Melbourne and Rome, and for me Melbourne felt safer. But both are pretty okay for big cities.
Rome is beautiful. I’d feel pretty safe everywhere you walked there during the day. The underpass was grimy but apart from that, beautiful city. There are cities in Germany where I live which are probably less safe, eapecially if you look native, meaning German.
Rome aint really safe at night
Video internazionale…..grande !!! Nse batte Cicalone. E pure Franchino spacca.
I was in Rome and Vatican City a week ago and enjoyed my time there especially the magnificent marble statues, art, beautiful churches, architecture and ancient history. Thank you so much for highlighting the fact that there are 2 sides to Rome of which I noticed on arrival at Termini. What stood out for me was the graffiti on many of the buildings close and surrounding the station. Then if you walk a few meters towards the tourist attractions, you think you are in a completely different city. I think many of the big cities in Europe, even London struggle with a lot of homelessness and perhaps it’s a wake up call for the governments to do more for their people especially when tourism is a major contributor to the economy.
There's no immediate profits to be had by helping homeless....there's far more immediate profits to be made by perpetuating it.
Soo cool seeing this “partnership”😂. I have been following both channels for a while. I am from Rome and I can confirm that the area next to Termini station is sketchy as hell! Having said that, the city is way safer than many other cities around the world.
Most cities in the US are safer, only a handful of cities like certain blocks of NYC, San Francisco, or Chicago are more dangerous.
If the termini area is the worst then its not too bad. But the bad thing is many tourists arrive at termini first (like i did) so they could have a bad first impression of the city.
@@tevarinvagabond1192 what about Philadelphia where there is a shooting every day? i live in Australia and can attest to our cities all having a "dodgy" areas, i dont believe america only has three 🙄
im from Australia and sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane definitely have dodgy areas but tge cities are beautiful, friendly and safe.
@@IamPINKIEDaniels There's not shootings every day, lmao. The US has a handful of cities where violence is like that, and only PARTS of the cities have such violence. United Nations statistics actually show that EUROPE is MORE dangerous then the US in terms of violence. Yes, the US has more gun crime, but Europe has more violence overall and you have a greater chance of being violently mugged in Europe then in the US. These are FACTS, based on data from experts all over the world, so they aren't biased. Your country literally has a super small population in comparison and a much different situation, so it's not like you're somehow superior
Nice to see you back to your country
Cicalò and Pete. What a crossover!
I think it's great to have videos like this. I lived in Bogota Colombia for a while and there's tons of absolutely beautiful areas and safe areas, but it's good to know the bad side too because that's life.
If you guys think that area is bad, try going to the Torri. Especially the area near the metro between Torrenova and Torre Angela. Tor bella Monaca too
Finally you contacted Cicalone 😁
I told you to contact him when you asked for a contact. Im just a follower of Simone and now
im happy to see this video.
The guy is the blue .. is he a local celebrity? Every time he is off talking to someone on the street. There’s guys have such charisma . Great video
Killing it with the videos lately man ! .. would love one of you visiting Armenia ! Our ancient country!
I think he was there years ago look his older videos.
@@anna_m59 No , he hasnt lol
I’d love to see a similar video in Paris, if you’ve not already done one. I love Rome and the city & would love to go back. But this has given a lovely insight into the other side, each place you may visit has a different side to it that you never get to see - so Thankyou for taking us along with you. Keep going sir Peter ❤
Same! Want to see a video of him in France!
I stayed in this place on my Italian holiday, walked there during day and night. Yes, there are homeless people there and sometimes you can see drug addicts at night. But it's not more critical, messy or dangerous than it is in other European capitals and big cities these days. The big advantage of the area is that you can take a train and go wherever you want in Rome or the rest of the country (including the airport). Plus, there are many nice restaurants which are always crowded at night which proves that the neighborhood is quite tourist-friendly.
