      Curious to watch. I am from Milan, living in NYC for 2 decades. NYC seems to be going down the drain slowly. One step up, 2 back. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, I wonder why you do not shoot in linear mode with your camera (I assume a GoPro or similar), it would make them more appealing esthetically, without the fisheye effect.

You can find every kind of drug addict, or more simply every kind of trouble maker. And the worst thing is that Termini Station is the first part of Rome that a tourist sees when He arrives.

We get to see what the people think and not what the media tells us. So we can laugh here in the US realizing that the what the Italians think is bad is nothing compared to conditions in many places here. For instance where I live people who recently moved here have to be told, "Don't just go up driveways expecting to get halloween candy. Don't go up any driveways you don't know someone there or you might get shot. People around here like their privacy and don't like people in general, that's why they live here. There has been a few cases where they chased the person who invaded their property, chased hem down the road and had a shootout with them."

    As an expat living in Rome for nearly 10 years, Rome has a love it/hate it/love it again vibe to it. Cicalone, as an Italian, complains about the way things are, but the rate of crime in Rome and in general, Italy, is very low. Nobody denies the fact that there is petty theft everywhere near the tourist areas, but there's nothing more dangerous than that. Criminals know that the punishment for armed robbery or worse is high, so you may be tricked out of your money, but not mugged.

    As an Italian, I have to say that their statements about taxes are quite exagerated and incorrect. Of course taxes are high, and citizens could and should get back a lot more of what they do, in terms of services. Of course we have a lot of corruption and bad spending of public money. But when they say we get NOTHING in return, that is incorrect and very populist. For starters, we get a good public and free school system, affordable and good universities, a good and cheap healthcare. They don't get any of those in the US. Also, they don't mention the appalling rate of tax fraud, which is a big factor in this. The problem is not just high taxes, it's mainly bad spending and tax fraud.
    I think these things should be mentioned, if you want to show a balanced picture.
    On the other hand, when the guy says the current mood in Italy is "depressed", I think he's absolutely spot-on.

I was stuck trying to carry 3 suitcases down a large flight of stairs at Termini (this station) & a swarm of young men swooped them up for me & delivered them to my train. They were so sweet & wouldn’t accept anything but smiles & thanks 🙏 ❤ Thank you so much for sharing!! A piece of my heart will forever be in Rome ❤

    I would like to clarify some aspects of the "Italian thoughts" mentioned in the video. They said that in Italy people pay up to 48%, and that's true, some in certain ways even more than that if we consider other kinds of taxations. The thing is that in Italy we have "free" healthcare, public school system up to high school and tax reduction for university students with low family income (you pay regional taxes, like 100€ per year, and in some cases that's it), and many services that in many other countries are private. The biggest problem is not taxation, but tax evasion, there are many that do not pay taxes and that added to the poor investment management that our political system had made in years, it has increased the number of taxes required but not the benefits received from them. Another aspect that was mentioned in the video was about pensions, most of elderly can't live with their pension, that is based on many reasons, but one that I would like to highlight is that young generations have problems in finding jobs, creating new opportunities, or get small jobs just to live, in the last few years there were more young people living with elders' pension rather than the opposite.

      The bureaucracy is extremely bloated, public services rarely work as they should (as is the norm in the world, anyways), it's hard to start a business, the pension system is unsustainable. The problems in Italy are mostly the same as any European country nowadays, from Romania to Sweden. I personally think a little bit less gov. intervention would be welcome, however I don't - currently - live in Italy, so my opinion may not be "up to date".

We were warned to watch out for the typical pick pocket crimes or the typical tourist street scams but nothing regarding physical harm because there isn't any. It looked like the Italian guys were looking for crime that wasn't there, in other words, overstating the crime. In the summer the tourist to criminal ratio is likely 1000 to 1, or even higher. Any city on the world where the ratio is 1000 to 1 I would feel safe.

    In 1992 and 2006, I arrived in Roma via the Termini station, and while it’s not the most attractive part of the city by any stretch of the imagination, I never felt unsafe at all. We even stayed at a hotel that was about two blocks from the station the first time. But I also lived and worked a lot of my life in different areas of NYC - still teach in what’s considered a very unsafe neighborhood in the Bronx - so I guess it’s all relative, based on your own experiences.

Thank you so much for highlighting the fact that there are 2 sides to Rome of which I noticed on arrival at Termini. What stood out for me was the graffiti on many of the buildings close and surrounding the station. Then if you walk a few meters towards the tourist attractions, you think you are in a completely different city. I think many of the big cities in Europe, even London struggle with a lot of homelessness and perhaps it’s a wake up call for the governments to do more for their people especially when tourism is a major contributor to the economy.

    I was in Rome and Naples this past summer and I felt 100% safe there. Im from modesto / Stockton California and I'll be the first to tell you our cities are much more dangerous. In Rome you worrie about theft, pick pockets. In my city you worrie about being killed! Rome actually reminded me a lot of Oakland and San Francisco but without the ghetto street element if that makes sense.

    Rome is beautiful. I’d feel pretty safe everywhere you walked there during the day. The underpass was grimy but apart from that, beautiful city. There are cities in Germany where I live which are probably less safe, eapecially if you look native, meaning German.

    I stayed in this place on my Italian holiday, walked there during day and night. Yes, there are homeless people there and sometimes you can see drug addicts at night. But it's not more critical, messy or dangerous than it is in other European capitals and big cities these days. The big advantage of the area is that you can take a train and go wherever you want in Rome or the rest of the country (including the airport). Plus, there are many nice restaurants which are always crowded at night which proves that the neighborhood is quite tourist-friendly.

    I think I haven't seen this channel before and it's fantastic! Peter is a really great youtuber who hooks up with the best people, like the 2 legends here.
    I have traveled immensely around the world and can easily say that Rome is no way near as "chaotic" or "hopeless" as San Fransisco, or poor like say Manila and Philippines (and many other places of course) overall.
    I always felt safe in Rome, been there many times and it saddens me to hear that the two legends are not looking into a bright future for Rome. This fantastic city is soon in tatters??? The heartland of the Catholic church? What's come with the world??? How will it look in 50 years?
    Cheers from Sweden! Now a follower of the channel!

    Thank you for the interesting, informative video, Peter. I guess the areas around the main train stations are kind of seedy in most bigger European cities. I've heard that Tor Bella Monaca is one of the worst neighborhoods in Rome, but it is more out in the suburbs. Lots of drug use.

United Nations statistics actually show that EUROPE is MORE dangerous then the US in terms of violence. Yes, the US has more gun crime, but Europe has more violence overall and you have a greater chance of being violently mugged in Europe then in the US. These are FACTS, based on data from experts all over the world, so they aren't biased. Your country literally has a super small population in comparison and a much different situation, so it's not like you're somehow superior

    I roamed through Rome alone in 2014 and felt pretty safe, though I had a moderate background traveling and being aware. I did get lost getting off on a terminal towards nightfall going back to the outskirts (Fiumucino) and an older lady got me on the right bus (I don't speak Italian). There are very hospitable people there. Gratzi!

    Peter, I'm glad that in the end you made a fair conclusion: everywhere you go, you have good and bad. Overall, Italy is not a dangerous place to visit and...to live in. Some places are not raccomended to walk through yes, but once you know, you avoid it. The positive side is that, the vaste majority of sites are just a blessing to the eyes and to the heart and... to the palate.
