Genoa Addressses

Note that Genoa is one of the handful of Italian cities that, for some reason, has an unnecessarily complicated double system of street-numbering: commercial establishments (such as bars and restaurants) have red numbers ( rosso ), while all other buildings have black numbers ( nero ) - and the two systems don’t run in tandem. This means, for example, that Via Banchi 35r might be next-door to Via Banchi 89n, but several hundred metres from Via Banchi 33n. There’s no logic or purpose to it at all.
