"Capocolle is very safe, with low crime rates. Petty theft like pickpocketing is rare but possible in crowded areas or tourist spots. Keep valuables secure and avoid leaving items unattended. The village is quiet at night, but streets are well-lit. Be cautious on rural roads, especially at night, due to winding roads and limited lighting. Scams are uncommon, but always agree on taxi fares beforehand. Overall, a safe destination for solo travelers, families, and seniors."
