Italy is an appealing destination for some Peruvian travelers due to its rich history, culture, and iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. With around 600,000 Peruvians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Italy particularly interesting to visit.
Italy is generally considered safe for tourists, including those coming from Peru. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially compared to Peru, which ranks 97th. While Italy ranks 34th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is still much safer than Peru, which has higher crime rates. For instance, the murder rate in Italy is 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Peru's 5.7. Additionally, organized crime indices show that Italy has a higher prevalence of mafia groups (ranked 9.0) than Peru (6.0), but overall, crime networks and state crime are rated lower in Italy than in Peru. In summary, while travelers should always exercise caution, Italy is statistically safer than Peru for tourists.
