The Baresi Bag Snatchers
A word of warning : the Baresi take a positive delight in portraying the old city as a den of thieves, and certainly strolling through the narrow alleys with your camera in full view isn’t particularly wise. Bag snatching by young kids on mopeds (the topini , or “little mice”) isn’t as rife as it once was, but neither is it extinct. Keep your wits about you.
