Casal Bruciato is a dense public-housing (ATER) district that has repeatedly made Rome crime news. A 2018 murder (a man shot dead outside his home, described by police as a settling of scores) is the most serious documented incident, but shootings have recurred since, including gunfire near a school that alarmed residents and prompted the local mini-mayor to publicly call for more security. Local outlets have also reported an escalation of street robberies and muggings with at least four women targeted in a few days, along with car arsons, and residents have organised citizen street patrols in response. This is one of the most consistently documented problem areas in Municipio IV, warranting a red rating at night, with a yellow rating by day given the reported daytime street robberies.

Frequently asked questions
Is Casal Bruciato safe?
Wandroz currently rates Casal Bruciato in Rome as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome during the day and an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Rome at night. 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. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Casal Bruciato safe at night?
At night, Casal Bruciato is rated as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative 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 Casal Bruciato a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Casal Bruciato's day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Casal Bruciato itself.
Is there official crime data for Casal Bruciato?
Not an official government crime feed — Casal Bruciato'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 Casal Bruciato well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
