Tomba di Nerone, named for the ancient tomb along via Cassia, is a residential district that press described in 2022 as sadly known for degrado, prostitution and drug dealing. Carabinieri operations here have been frequent through 2026, including a June 2026 anti-degrado sweep with a knife-carrying arrest, and joint patrols in July and August 2026 covering Tomba di Nerone together with Ponte Milvio, Due Ponti and Grottarossa that produced multiple arrests. The pattern documented is ongoing, low-level but persistent drug dealing and street prostitution rather than violent crime. Daytime is unremarkable; night carries a real, recurring documented 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.
