Contains Napoli Centrale station and Piazza Garibaldi, the arrival point for most rail travellers, plus Poggioreale's prison and industrial zone. The Naples Court of Appeal's district report specifically names "San Lorenzo-Poggioreale" among the highest-stese areas. Separately, and specifically because of station-area crime against travellers, the State Police run an ongoing "Stazioni Sicure" heightened-security operation around Piazza Garibaldi: one reported control period (12-17 May) alone produced four arrests for theft, robbery and an aggravated-battery incident at or near the station's shops and platforms. The heavy, continuous police presence brings the daytime/transit risk down to caution level, but the underlying stese pattern keeps the area red after dark.
