Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Italian term or phrase: Pos. n. 13328.0
This appears as a reference at the top of letter from a property valuation company (the letter provides a valuation of an industrial plant in Italy).

Top of letter (name of company sending the letter):
Agrate Brianza, 17 gennaio 2012
Pos. nr. 13328.0

End of letter:
Distinti saluti
Agrate Brianza, 17 gennaio 2012
Pos. n. 13328.0

Does anyone have any ideas for 'Pos.'?
Thank you!

English translation:Reference no.
Explanation:
I would maybe be more general and translate 'numero di posizione' as a reference number. Could it be the specific reference number for the property being valued? Difficult to tell from the context.
