Italy is not safe these days if you show off even a little.
I mean if you're new and buy a nice villa. "Entry level" supercar that starts to be seen around. Or a nice watch shown in public places.
Plenty of entrepreneurs/VIPs robbed while they sleep in their villa.
At gun point.
Alarm and security bars on windows are not enough.
Usually no fingerprints as they use gloves. No faces (balaclavas)...
People said that you call the police and it's too late and they never get them. and if you're not a VIP or politician they'll not even try to see if they left some fingerprints and not even bother checking all the cameras in the neighborhoods.
They'll follow your supercar and they'll point a gun at you while you're opening your gate or even stuck in traffic in broad daylight.
They are organized gangs. Usually foreigners with italian lookouts.
East European ones are worse as they are very violent for no reason on wife and children.
Even gypsies do this and there's plenty of unidentified ones there.
Gypsies usually will s**t all arount your house too. They love s**t. A guy was tied and they shat in his m*uth as he didn't want to give them jewels...
Seriously, cannot even leave your wife with your kids in the big city parks.
