Tips for success:

-As with any city, be aware of your surroundings and watch your belongings! Pickpockets operate in every country.

-Some cities require you to validate your metro, bus, or tram ticket. This means you need to get it stamped in a machine before riding! Be sure to do so if this is true of the Italian city you are visiting. This will vary from city to city.

-Do not buy or accept public transport tickets from people on the street, always buy from approved newspaper stands, convenience stores, or machines.
