I know that when I was in Italy, the only trouble we had was with non native Italians. My wife and i were followed in Florence, and as we entered an alley, two men sped up and were looking at each other and another man who ran ahead. They were trying to surround us in a dark alley and would have robbed us, likely using a knife, had I not realized what was happening and we got the fuck out of there. When we re-entered the crowded tourist area, we watched the third guy come running to the place where we came out, then he was met by the other two, and they were watching us. I may have smiled at them, and waved with my finger, which seemed to piss them off. The last day, we got into an argument while haggling over the price of a fake leather jacket. After being insulted by the man, I called his wares trash and told him to get fucked. Then, some jihadi looking guy showed up and followed us for a bit, making sure we enjoyed our last afternoon in Italy.
We will go back some day, but based upon what we saw in Florence, they have a bit of an immigration problem, and maybe the new emigrants are not the type you want coming to your country.
