Details

The data of the Italian zipcode are available with a restricted form online (= captcha) The entire data set is for sale. The national open data agenda of the italian digital agency announces the release as open data in late 2014. Currently there are no confirmation. Poste Italiane doesn't offer also the address number. This resource is managed by local authorities. The Italian Institute of Statistics is also involved in this data, but doesn't release address numbers or streets with coordinates. The current status of the release of adddress numbers is in a study (often updated) by Cesare Gerbino

QA review - Changed the answered so they will refer to the dataset in bulk and not to the online application. Therefore - Publicly available, not for free, not online, is machine readable.

Reviewer comments

The postcode data is significantly divided geographically and legislative (different licenses provided by different regions/institutions). The linked study states: "The percentage of house numbers made available as such, and not <> from other themes, up from 10% to 25% of all information collected and then a good result in terms of growth (the first version saw a rate of 5% )". Thus, the data is not publicly available.
