To further what spindles said, Roman pickpockets are fantastic.. There are hundreds of them throughout the city, I used to sit and watch them work from afar.. Lots of kids grouping, the classic cardboard sign blocking your view, babies/kids handed to you, and tons of other scams, I felt someone go into my back pocket (brocures were in there) and when I turned around I couldn't tell who it was..
(On a side note, just last month I was in the Dominican Republic in Higuey and caught a little boy with his hands in my girlfriend pockets.. )
Florance was much better,
My suggestion to you would to also be up early, 6'ish or so.. In Florence @ 6:00am, the city is extermly quite and most beautiful.. It was one of the highlights of my trip.
Rome takes about 5 days to get around and explore the basics, I spent 4 there, walked everywhere and loved it.
Rome was hot, tourist-ladden and beautiful.
Florance was just beautiful...
