Italy is a highly appealing destination for some of the 1 million Maldivians, thanks to its rich history, vibrant culture, and famous cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. The country's iconic landscapes and cultural heritage attract millions of international tourists each year, making it an enticing option for visitors from the Maldives.
Italy is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from the Maldives. According to safety rankings, Italy is 34th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, with no available data for the Maldives. In the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd among 160 countries, again with no data for the Maldives. Murder rates are similar, with the Maldives at 0.6 per 100,000 people and Italy at 0.5. However, the Maldives has higher female murder rates (2.6) compared to Italy (0.4). In terms of organized crime, Italy has a higher index (9.0) for mafia groups compared to the Maldives (5.0). Other crime indices show that while both countries face challenges, the Maldives generally scores better in areas like arms trafficking and flora crime. Overall, while Italy has some issues related to organized crime, it remains a popular and relatively safe destination for tourists.
