I have walked around Milan, Florence, Pisa and Torino with my Leicas without ever the slightest hint of problem. There are several LUGgers living in Italy who I am sure take their Leicas out for regular workouts. What is the point of bringing a Leica to Italy and then leaving it in the hotel? I guess Italy (or any other place for that matter) is not as safe as Singapore, but if you are really worried, then take out insurance on your Leicas and go take pictures!
