Hi
We will be in Rome from June 10 -12. I have a small cross body bag - 9 inches x 3 inches x 4 inches . I have these questions:
Thanks for your help!

That size bag will be fine. It will be opened and examined while you step through the scanner and then handed back to you.
Have fun!
As ponygirl813 replied, everyone goes through the same security check at both monuments, with or without a crossbody or other type of small bag. Larger bags can be checked at the Vatican Museums and St Peter's but Colosseum doesn't offer that service so must should be checked elsewhere if too large for admittance.
You won't have an issue with your small cross-body. The only place where you'd likely have to check it is Galleria Borghese, if you're visiting that one.
Kathy…my nephew used the bag check cloakroom at St. Peter’s Basilica for his backpack last year…after exiting security but before entering the basilica. Is this no longer available?
Arg, you are correct: there is a cloakroom/bag check for the basilica. I just managed not to see it!
Thanks for the correction; I've edited my previous post. :O)
