Santa Cornelia is a small, quiet residential pocket near via Flaminia/Cassia in the far north of the municipio. The most notable documented incident dates to March 2019, when press reported assaults, illegal dumping and thefts tied to a nearby informal settlement, with residents describing years of intimidation before a joint Carabinieri-Polizia blitz addressed it. No comparable incidents surfaced in recent (2024-2026) local press; more recent coverage of the area concerns road-safety infrastructure works rather than crime. Given the seriousness (if dated) of that one report, a cautious yellow at night is warranted; daytime is calm.

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 S. Cornelia safe at night?
At night, S. Cornelia 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 S. Cornelia a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Cornelia specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for S. Cornelia?
Not an official government crime feed — S. Cornelia'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 S. Cornelia well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
