Red zones have been established in Rome to strengthen urban security, particularly for the Jubilee 2025. The main areas involved are Termini station, the Esquilino district and some streets in the Tuscolano area. These zones have been identified to counter phenomena of crime, degradation and drug dealing, ensuring greater usability of public spaces for citizens and tourists.
What are red zones?
Red zones are urban areas where the presence of individuals considered dangerous or with a criminal record is prohibited. Law enforcement agencies can order their immediate removal. These measures aim to prevent crimes against property and persons, as well as harassing or threatening behavior.
Areas affected in Rome:
-
- Termini Station and surrounding areas: Via Giovanni Giolitti, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and other nearby streets
- Esquiline district: Streets such as Via Principe Amedeo, Via Mamiani and Via Carlo Cattaneo
- Tuscolano area: Via Tuscolana (212 house front), via Monselice, via Adria and Piazza Ragusa
Planned measures
- Parking ban for people with criminal records or harassing behavior
- Enhanced law enforcement presence with extraordinary control operations
- Removal of offenders through urban Daspo
Red zones have already been applied in other Italian cities such as Florence, Milan, Bologna and Naples, achieving significant results in combating petty crime.
