I know many of us put our passports in the hotel safe and maybe carry a photocopy. Just a head up that the police in Rome have stepped up their random passport checks, especially around the train and bus stations and on busses and trains. Some reported getting checked around tourist attractions. As per the law, they expect to have the actual passport handed to them and, from the episodes I've read on my one Italy travel site, they don't take the photocopy and you will get fined.
Not to say that you will get stopped, just a heads up. I've seen many more people mentioning the stops over the past month than I have seen ever.

It's a valid concern. In some European Union countries, including Italy, it's mandatory to carry identification, which for many tourists means their passport. While the likelihood of being stopped and fined may be low, it's a good idea to play it safe. You're right; it's essential to follow local regulations, and carrying your passport or an ID card is a smart move. It's not just for crossing borders but can also be needed for various situations. And if you're still curious about this or want more travel tips, you might find some helpful info in fake ID videos. They often cover these kinds of scenarios and can provide useful insights.

Carrying your passport around in crowded tourist areas can indeed be risky. Many travelers opt to leave their passports in hotel safes and carry photocopies for identification. However, with the recent increase in random passport checks by the police, it's becoming more important to have the actual passport on hand when exploring the city. That being said, there's always a risk of losing your real ID, especially in places prone to pickpocketing. In such cases, having a backup plan, like a fake ID, can be a lifesaver. I've heard that some travelers have used services like fakeidvendors.com to create a secondary identification card just in case their passport gets stolen.
