These are house numbers from all over Livorno, all “deviants” from the regular black and white standard issue.
A regular tile issued by the “Comune” (Municipality) of Livorno.

It's interesting to see how people express their individuality even in small ways. This is a nice section of house numbers. They look nice.
This is lovely, great collage indeed!
Thank you for noticing these, showing them to us, and also showing the standard by which to compare them.
The numbers and your photo are quite creative! Makes the "regular" tile look rather plain...blah?
We don't get house numbers issued. Lucky you guys. I liek the non standard ones better,t hough! :-D
Neat collection of house numbers!
I left a comment below and added a note about benches. Please check out what I wrote there.
Clever, colorful, collage! Congratulations!
Nice deviants, for sure :)
It's definitely one of my favourite post - I just love those numbers!!!
Will have to give closer look to numbers here:)
Here numbers are issued to homes in the country to make it easier for emergency vehicles to find places but not in the towns.
Beautiful collage. I love looking at numbers and often photograph them too. You know my preference is still for the regular tile issued by the commune.
Those are lovely!
Pretty signs, some more graphic than others. The way you have made this "postcard" is very nice.
Personally, I prefer the white and red one to the standard issue!
A study of numerology? :)
All of them are wonderful!
Cool idea for a post,
Léia
I particularly like the number 13. Nice idea!
Each one is unique and beautiful in it's own right.
Even the regular tile is nice with the coat of arms.
I like the one with the lemons the best...do you have many lemon trees in Livorno?
Same word here... “comune”... "kommun".
@ Léia - I know that a friend is using some of these number to play the Superenalotto.
@ Saretta - I am afraid that the only lemon trees in Livorno are on that tile, but I know of potted plants kept here in verandas and giving good fruits.
Those are so pretty. In the USA they right it pretty too. In Bulgaria they just scribble-scrabble them with paint.
I like number 15 & 86. Tiles make everything so beautiful.
Nice "deviants". They are quite pretty, even the standard one with the coat of arms.
