Home to Rione Sanità, historically one of Naples' most stigmatised neighbourhoods and now in the middle of a genuine, widely covered cultural revival — community-led tours, restored catacombs and churches, and a growing arts scene (the 2025 "Sanità TàTà" festival among other initiatives). Coverage is honest about the area still being in transition rather than fully resolved: at least one investigative piece from 2024 reports organised crime interests moving into the same tourism economy that is driving the neighbourhood's rebirth, rather than disappearing outright. No specific stese hotspot naming for this Municipalità was found (unlike Municipalità 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9), consistent with a genuinely improving but not yet fully resolved picture. Sources checked: BuoneNotizie.it, 10 May 2024 (Rione Sanità revival); CronacheDi.it, 2024 (camorra and tourism economy in Rione Sanità).

Wandroz currently rates Stella, San Carlo all'Arena (Municipalità 3) in Naples as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Naples, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Naples publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.

At night, Stella, San Carlo all'Arena (Municipalità 3) is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Naples. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
