Monte Sacro is the dense historic core of the wider Montesacro district, centered on Piazza Sempione, mixing residential blocks with local shops. In August 2026, press reported that a woman was struck with a broken bottle by a man described as mentally disturbed, who remained at large as of the report - an isolated but genuinely documented violent incident. Beyond that, coverage of the area is largely ordinary neighborhood life, with daytime appearing calm and no other significant safety concerns found in recent searches.

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 Monte Sacro safe at night?
At night, Monte Sacro 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 Monte Sacro a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Is there official crime data for Monte Sacro?
Not an official government crime feed — Monte Sacro'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 Monte Sacro well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
