The house where Luigi Napoleone, King of Holland, lived and died. It is also the building where the great Italian author Alessandro Manzoni lived for a while.
This is a bit of a cheat for #23, but it demonstrates and interesting point about addresses in Florence. Red numbers, designated with a little case "r," were always commercial addresses, while black numbers (even though they are in blue) are residential numbers. In this picture, you have 22r, 4, and then 24r. Some streets can have the same number, in either red or black, in two different locations. Not confusing at all.
Here's a picture of this residence from across the Arno.
