Signmaker's letters presumably derived from the Bodoni or Didot fonts about 200 years ago.
This sign is made from the same pattern used to make the letters in the enlarged fuzzy image which you posted recently. Here it is at a smaller scale with skew corrected;

No digital font is very close but compare to Monotype Bodoni Bold, which is wider, has smaller serifs, pointed top on _A_ and pointed bottom on _V_ etc.
Suggested font: Bodoni Bold

Found some another picture of Genoa street signs with more letters



I wonder what the _Q_ looks like.

Thank you very much for your answer donshottype, but I found more similarities with the COSMIQUA PRO HEAVY font, which duly modified, is virtually the same.
Suggested font: Cosmiqua Pro Heavy
