Rome pairs priceless history with dense, crowded streets and a constant flow of visitors. For a high-profile principal the exposure is highest in the tourist-packed centre, around the fashion houses and at the grand hotels.
Our operatives understand how Rome's centre moves, where crowds concentrate and how quickly a recognisable face draws attention.
The local picture
A few local realities shape every plan we build in Rome:
- Tourist-density crime. The crowded historic centre carries persistent pickpocketing and distraction-theft risk that affects staff and family.
- Luxury and visibility. Via Condotti and the grand hotels concentrate high-value exposure for recognisable guests.
- Events and audiences. Major events, fashion and Vatican occasions change crowd and traffic patterns sharply.
- Congested movement. Narrow, busy streets and limited access make transfers a matter of timing.
Working within the local rules
Private security in Italy is licensed and supervised by the Prefettura, and our operatives work within that framework. Close protection in Rome is generally unarmed and built on planning, positioning and local liaison.
Arrivals, venues and the places that matter
Most principals arrive through Ciampino for private aviation or Fiumicino. The transfer into the historic centre and the hotel arrival are the highest-exposure moments, so we plan them first.
- Private aviation. Rome Ciampino and Fiumicino, with protected meet-and-greet and secure transfer.
- Hotels. Hotel de Russie, the Hassler, Hotel Eden and the St. Regis, where arrivals need careful handling.
- Shopping. Via Condotti and the streets around the Spanish Steps, high-value and high-exposure.
- Residences. Apartments in the historic centre and villas on the outskirts, with managed access.
- Occasions. Fashion events, Vatican occasions and state visits, each with their own crowds.
