Some hotels will hold onto your luggage for several days, but most would not. The general rule is only for the remainder of the day. Whether there was a risk of theft would depend on the security of the luggage room and the integrity of the staff. I think it's pretty rare for there to be a problem, but it has happened.

Check with your hotel before you arrive to see if they will store your luggage for that long - some will, but many just intend the rooms to hold luggage for people who arrive too early for check-in or must kill a few hours after check-out time before their plane or train leaves.
Risk of theft? I'm sure it happens, but I've never been a victim.
BTW, I'm seconding the recommendation of the Hotel Italia -- we liked the location because we could walk to the Pantheon, prime piazzas, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, etc.
It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Termini. We felt the neighborhood was just fine.
In short, the price was right, the service outstanding, the rooms and breakfast pretty good. All in all, a good value.
Good luck!

A luggage room is a place at the hotel where luggage is stored, usually if you arrive before the check-in time, or if you want to store the luggage after you check out."
Not necessarily. Once upon a time, wealthy people would stay in a hotel for weeks, bringing trunks and other large luggage. The guests rooms had "luggage rooms," very large closets, to store the stuff. I've stayed in a few older hotels hat still have them.

Hi
My wife and I stayed at Bettoja Hotel Nord Nuova last summer and we were happy with that. It is a three star hotel located near the train station Termini. I have posted a review of the hotel in my trip report http://gardkarlsen.com/rome_italy.htm
Good luck with the planning.
Regards
