I am reading Rick Steves Sicily book before I travel there in the spring. I have a silly questin about some places and numbers attached to these places. ON page 84, there are several suggestions of places to hang out in the evening. These places, like Colletti, have a number in brackets next to it, #77. What is that number referring to? I looked at the map of Palermoin the back of the book, and I don't see any such numbers on the map. What am I missing? Thanks.

Could maybe be a bus route #? I would think there would be somewhere in the book where it explains notes like that - maybe in the front or back of the book.

Could be address/location, especially if he has listed places to hang out on a particular street. I just Googled Colletti in Sicily and got a hit for Botteghe Colletti located at Via Alessandro Paternostro #77 in Palermo.

That paragraph begins with the name of the street, Via Alessandro Paternostro, then in the text RS gives just the numerical part of the address. It might be useful to point out that in Europe, the street name often appears before the street number, so the Coletti address would be given as "Via Alessandro Paternostro, 77".

It's all making sense now. Thank you, everyone.
