Unlikely to bother recreational visitors. Crook-on-crook mafia killings
don't affect tourists.

Watching gangsters blow each other away could well be a tourist
attraction. Nothing in that suggests a visitor would be targeted.
If I knew when the next local Mob funeral was I might well go along
to kibitz.
It's fairly small potatoes compared with the incidence of drug
killings you get in London or Florida, isn't it?

one night I was stopped in a central piazza (Florence) by an american guy
from Miami asking for a light (or directions, I don't remember) and we
started chatting for a while since he had just arrived and was asking for
some advice about museums and shoppings.
Somewhere into the conversation he says "there seems to be lots of people
around - this neighborhood looks quite safe at this time".
"All of the city is safe at any time" "Really ? How many killings a day ?"
"How many... A DAY ? We barely have one for month!" was my answer.
He was baffled. Then he told me what the violent crime figures for Miami
were, and it was my turn to be baffled.

However, some of the recent killings have occurred in areas where
tourists might be passersby.

Yes, come to think of it, I do remember an occasion a few years ago when
someone got bumped off in a stret I'd regularly walked down in Naples a
couple of weeks before.

Someone got knifed to death outside the front door of the Usher Hall
in Edinburgh when I was living near there (albeit not at concert time).
It took a couple of weeks for the pool of blood to go away. Still not
much of a risk to passersby, this was a personal dispute of some sort.
Maybe the situation in Italy is an argument for reinstating coliseums,
with added bulletproof glass around the performance area.

Actually happened to a Canadian last month when a stray bullet wounded
him/her while walking in the Piazza del Plebiscito which is a tourist
area. Regards, Walter

Last year I had some visitors from England here in Germany, they asked me
if it was safe to walk around in the park (in Cologne), and if I would dare
to walk there at night. They wouldn't believe that people in Germany rarely
get abducted or killed in parks at night ;-)

Yep. And then they ask if Europe is dangerous ;-)

they don't in England either (away from a few places), but some people
either want to know if the same applies elsewhere (or if they are in
one of those few places!) or have been fooled by the press into
thinking otherwise.

theres a parallel with London, you wont have heard of a machine gun
attack in Peckham yesterday (I dead , two critical) in a probable drug
gang black on black attack, nor will the London tourist be likely to
get involved, (or the average Londoner).
Mind you, its not good, is it?

yes, but I think it just creates a vacuum and others move in, seems to
me drug prohibition has failed when you get gangs of Caribbean
shooting each other with machine guns in a city you can generally go
your whole life without seeing a gun. And I might get caught in the
crossfire!

No. I suppose that we all feel more worried when a violent crime affects
"people like us". My local freesheet (West Drayton, on western edge of
London) recently reported a robbery on the 427 bus (Uxbridge-Acton) in
Hayes, when a gang got on in sufficient numbers to rob SEVEN men, and last
night I noticed a roadside sign in Yiewsley High Street seeking witneses to
an armed robbery. This comes close enough to places I fo to and things that
I do to be a bit worrying.
