1 mission of Italy in Rwanda: Consulate of Italy in Kigali, Rwanda. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Giovanni Davite, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Rwanda, 20 Nov 2024)
Italy is an appealing destination for some of Rwanda's 14 million residents, thanks to its rich history, culture, and iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. The country's renowned landscapes and cultural heritage attract millions of international tourists each year.
Italy is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Rwanda. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety, especially when compared to Rwanda, which ranks 90th. In terms of crime statistics, Italy has a low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, significantly lower than Rwanda's rate of 3.6. While Italy faces challenges with organized crime, as indicated by its higher scores in the Global Organized Crime Index, it remains safer overall than Rwanda in various crime categories. While Italy is ranked 34th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it is important for tourists to remain vigilant and take standard safety precautions, just as they would in any country.
