    • We were told by friends of the many horrendous pick-pocketing incidents in Italy. Fortunately we have not encountered or seen any pick pockets during our 23 days trip in Italy. Perhaps we are dress fairly casually, and we did not wear any valuables and we are travelling alone. On a caution note, both of us opt for sling bags as our day bags so that our valuables are always in front of us instead of backpack.
