Hey, I wanted to know if anyone can help me decipher this Italian address. I have to send an invoice for some work I did, but I don't know which is the street, city, etc. I can't contact the company to ask, being that they are 6 hrs ahead of me and I would like to send this out today. Any help would be appreciated. This is what they sent me as an address:

Mediapiù Communication di Gianpaolo Tonetto
Via Porta Brennone, 23
42100 Reggio Emilia - Italy
cf TNTGPL64P11L736A
p.iva 01773930357


Thanks.

Mediapiù Communication di Gianpaolo Tonetto ---> company name
Via Porta Brennone, 23 ----> street and number
42100 Reggio Emilia - Italy ----> region/city/country
cf TNTGPL64P11L736A
p.iva 01773930357

I think it means "If this package has TNT in it, ship it to the Galapagos Islands", then 64P11L736A is secret Italian code for the longitude and latitude. The "p.iva" instructs the Italian mailman to then eat some pita bread (whoever sent this to you can't spell) and the rest is a social security number.

^Yeah exactly. That's what the 57 at the end of the last number means. Not many people know that the Italian language is based off of numbers.
