Follow the U.S. Department of State advisory: exercise increased caution in Italy and stay vigilant in public places and tourist sites.
Secure valuables: use a front-pocket wallet or anti-theft bag, keep bags zipped and attended on public transport and in crowded museum areas to reduce risk of pickpocketing.
Check Musei in Comune / museiincomuneroma for event times, free-entry days and MIC card details before visiting to avoid unexpected closures or queues.
Monitor the 7-day forecast (notably fog on 2026-10-16) and allow extra time for travel on days with reduced visibility or overcast conditions.
