Laurentino is a large public-housing district, and its Laurentino 38 complex in particular has a long, well-documented history of organized drug trafficking that continues into 2026. Recent operations include a January 2025 takedown of a 27-person trafficking network facing a combined roughly 200 years in prison, and repeated Carabinieri raids through July-August 2026 involving helicopters and army paratroopers, dealer arrests, and hundreds of identity checks. This is the kind of recurring, serious, officially-targeted drug-market problem the methodology reserves red for; night in Laurentino 38 is rated red, with day rated yellow since the same underlying dynamics persist in daylight even though violent street crime against passersby is not the dominant documented pattern.

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