Mugging 'Etiquette'?

Long story short: there is no mugging etiquette. Muggers don’t get together in clubs and agree on how to mug people. Muggers simply mug people. Their reasons are different and so are their behaviours but their end result is the same: to mug you. I think you were simply lucky to be treated nicely by the person mugging you.

You experienced a rather rare case: in fact, it’s rare to find a mugger with such good manners!

In general, Italy is a safe country to live in (see this report , pp. 105-117) and it’s relatively rare to get mugged. For instance, I live in a city in northern Italy, I’ve walked a lot in the night and I haven’t been mugged once in almost fifty years; among a hundred friends I can recall just a couple of cases (all failed). Various types of pickpocketers are definitely more common (e.g., pay attention if someone walks very close to you; or, if you have a car and you find a flat tire at a parking lot, don’t leave any possession unattended while you change the tire).

However, in every big city (in every part of the world) there are areas where you want to avoid walking alone after dark, especially if you are new to the place and can be easily recognized as a foreigner. Since you’re new to the city, ask your colleagues and your closest neighbours information about your area.
