As with neighbouring Isolotto Sud, the Isolotto public-housing district has seen genuine documented gang-related incidents in 2025-2026, including an armed confrontation with shots fired and a 2026 knife attack on a father in front of his young son during a robbery attempt. Local press generally refers simply to 'the Isolotto' without distinguishing the Nord and Sud administrative sub-zones, so the same honest caveat applies here: the specific sub-zone of these incidents is not identified in press coverage. Sources checked: La Nazione, 'Firenze, follia maranza: agguato con la pistola, sei spari in piazza' (Isolotto); Il Fatto Quotidiano, father stabbed by baby gang in front of son at Isolotto (April 2026).

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Florence publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.

Is there official crime data for Isolotto Nord?
Not an official government crime feed — Isolotto Nord's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used).
