Piazza Santo Spirito is a well-known student/nightlife square in the Oltrarno with bars and evening gatherings, and has drawn periodic 'movida sicura' police checks alongside neighbouring San Niccolò. However, the specific district-by-district crime breakdown covering the Quartiere 1 historic centre explicitly noted zero serious incidents here recently, attributed to improved community-police coordination, in contrast to nearby San Frediano and the station area. Sources checked: La Firenze che Vorrei, quartiere-by-quartiere summer crime report (Quartiere 1 data); 055firenze.it / MET Provincia di Firenze, 'movida sicura' checks in Oltrarno and San Niccolò.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
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.
