Been there a fair amount (wife di Milano), but living in California and have been to Mexico roughly for equal amounts of time. No problems in Italy. I've had just about everything stolen in Mexico, including; full kit of Nikons, powerbook, my shoes, a surfboard, my passport (twice), wallet taken in the Mex City subway by a pickpocket so artful I was more awed and honored than angered, and had my rental car stolen in Morellia right out from under my nose (on the same trip; hit a cow with the second rental, then damn near drove the third one off a cliff in Chiapas). I'll take Italy any day. Besides, the food is better. Dave Yoder p.s. Got a travel shoot on the Aeolian Islands this October. Anyone been there? Tips?
