Aurelio Sud is the southern part of the Aurelio district, a mostly residential and commercial area bordering the Vatican/San Pietro area near via Gregorio VII. In 2026 local press reported a knife attack inside a home in the Aurelio area, stemming from a dispute over a money debt, with the victim hospitalized; Carabinieri also carried out an extraordinary territorial control operation with anti-drug dogs across Aurelio-San Pietro aimed at diffuse criminality, including drugs and robbery. These are the kind of periodic anti-crime sweeps seen in many Rome districts rather than evidence of an unusually dangerous area, and daytime activity around the shops and Vatican-adjacent streets shows no specific safety concerns in recent coverage.

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. Rome 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 Aurelio Sud safe at night?
At night, Aurelio Sud is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome. 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.
Is Aurelio Sud a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Is there official crime data for Aurelio Sud?
Not an official government crime feed — Aurelio Sud'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). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Aurelio Sud well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
