Torrespaccata is a mostly residential, working-class neighbourhood in Rome's eastern periphery, built up from the 1960s-70s with a mix of public and private housing blocks. Local press has covered a scattered set of incidents rather than a systemic crime problem: a family running heroin and cocaine distribution to the Castelli and Civitavecchia was broken up here, a doctor was assaulted at the local mental health centre, and a burglar broke into an apartment on Christmas Day. There was also a large grass fire in the area in mid-2025. These are isolated, documented events rather than a pattern of chronic insecurity, so daytime is calm; some night caution is warranted given the drug-trafficking link uncovered locally.

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.
