The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Verona scores 89 out of 100, safer than roughly 62% of the cities in our index.

The recorded homicide rate is 0.5 per 100,000, below the median for the cities we track, but it covers the wider metro area and we calculated it ourselves from a count and a population. Robbery is recorded at 54.2 per 100,000; police data captures only reported incidents, so treat it as a floor. Among the governments we track, the US and Canada put Italy at increased caution, while the UK and Australia hold it at their lowest level. Their advisories also flag pickpocketing and scams aimed at travellers. A city-level survey found 63% of residents feel safe walking alone after dark, a more modest figure than the low recorded crime alone might suggest.

The radar shows the three sourced, comparable risk measures (homicide, robbery, the strictest travel-advisory level). Tourist petty-crime signals are a different kind of measure — how often advisories mention them — so they are shown as rows under Tourist-specific incidents, not as radar axes.
