If you plan on carrying a purse my advise is to tie the zipper shut with a shoe lace or a large pin. I was almost the victim of a pickpocket in Florence. She managed to get my Baggalini messenger bag open while it was securely under my arm. I didn't feel a thing. If she hadn't touched the inside of my arm I never would have known. Also when you use your credit card they may ask you if you want the transaction in dollars. Say no because there is a fee for it. have fun!
