Have any tourists felt threatened in Sicily?

Planning a trip next Fall and have heard that thugs steal and threaten tourists? Want to go off the tour to visit a church where mygrandmother and grandfather were married.

Yes! Me!!
Ciao! :-)

If you are American chances are crooks are going to target you ...take the trip but be careful .

I spent a week in Sicily alone as a twenty-something female, and I didn't not feel threatened one bit. As a matter of fact, I found the Sicilians to be incredibly kind. However, I also speak Italian, which is very helpful, esp. if you will be traveling to small towns.

If your grandparents were married in a church there, and you let this fact be known, you'll probably be welcome as family. Sicily is really very close-knit, more than the rest of Italy.

I don't think you should make that trip,maybe you should stay where you are,I'm sure there aren't any "THUGS" there!!!!!!!.

I lived in Sicily for 5 years and never once felt personally threatened in any way. However, my house was cleaned out for me once.
