Fidene is a residential district along the Aniene valley. Local press in 2026 documented multiple drug-related police operations here, including an August 2026 bust where roughly 900 grams of drugs, cash, and a gun were found hidden inside a sofa, and another case where a dealer hid synthetic drugs inside padlocks; police have also run sweeps targeting abandoned areas used for dealing. These are genuine, recent, and repeated documented incidents pointing to an active drug trade, mainly a night-time concern.

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 Fidene safe at night?
At night, Fidene 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 Fidene a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Fidene'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 Fidene itself.
Is there official crime data for Fidene?
Not an official government crime feed — Fidene'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 Fidene well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
