@Jo

I know that OSM can "recreate" the correct address even if it's only 
number+street but a complete address is 
number+street+postcode+city+country so this is why every number has in 
common two information the city (Rimini) and the country (IT).

@Martin Raifer
Don't worry the postcodes are present, i've forgot to add them to the 
mail and the wiki. Thanks for pointing me that!

About the names, i've used a method that isn't so much technical but it 
works: on a SHP file usually there is a .dbf complementary file that can 
be opened with Libreoffice as a Calc sheet. When it's opened, press OK 
and you can see a chart, where in the first row there are the names of 
all the features, and all the data are on the columns. You can select 
the column with all the street name (except the first cell) and use 
Format->Change Case->Capitalize Every Word, then, with the same 
selection you can use Edit->Find & Replace, and with "Match Case" 
selected, replace all the words with the one with lower case (ex. Via 
Della Pace, find "Della" and change with "della", so all the exact word 
with "Della" become lower case). Save then reopen the SHP on your GIS 
program or JOSM to check it out.

If there are no complain, i can upload it?
