thing is, in Italy they give each door/gate to the street a _house_number,
and doors can be very close (literally next to each other), in many cases,
e.g. a shop and the entrance of a condominium will have distinct
housenumbers, even a shop with 3 doors to the street will have 3
housenumbers.
Example here (but it's actually nearly everywhere like this, at least in
the big cities):

that's what it looks like on a photo:

(the glass door is the main entrance to the appartements, the green
shutters hide 2 doors to the same (at the time of the photo supposedly
vacant) shop, each with its own housenumber.
cheers,
Martin
