I can't reproduce this, I get no results for this exact address if I search on the openstreetmap.org home page, but not the Arctic Ocean.

I think that street is mapped as Via 25 aprile 1945.

Thanks for the speed in replying! The problem is when you select SMS atelier lab in "add place" for a photo in istagram. The blue that is seen in the attached image below is the ocean where the place is placed

One Answer:

There seem to be at least two issues that are OSM related:

the street name is wrong, see https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W&osmid=326339842&class=highway it is Via XXV Aprile 1945, not Via XXV Aprile
the unit value may be confusing things, without it we find https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=Via+25+Aprile+1945%2C+23%2C+24030+Brembate+di+Sopra%2C+Bergamo%2C+Italy (note that probably should be a building there or it isn't quite at the correct location).

The third issue is that you are searching on Instagram: Facebook / Meta companies do not use OSM POI data, but prefer to use other providers. Obviously their data isn't completely correct as you can see.
