We recommend the Eden or Excelsior.
Don't worry too much. Picke pocketing is a commong thing in Italy and Spain. I remember a situation where some guy wanted to rob my baggage when I boarded the metro in Madrid. My friend, who is a Karate master, and boarded the metro after me had the good reaction and guess what he did
