Is the world's longest portico really made up of 666 arches, or is this just a bit of a fib?

There are many issues in San Luca archs numbers: Number 69 does not exist. The numbers run from 68 to 70 ... mistake of some public painter in the past, I believe. Before the Meloncello Bridge the last arch has number 307. After the bridge, the first arch has number 317, How is it possible ? Where are the missing 9 archs from 307 and 317 ? Inside a bridge ? Last but not least, during the times, the portico has been modified. In more places (like via Irma Bandiera crossing) two arches have been collapsed in a new (larger) one... but numbers have not been updated... In any way, whichever is the way to count (except if cheating...) arch number 666 does not exist.

+Carlo Pelagalli oh, if only I had noticed those other anomalies as well. I may have to go back and take note of them! Thank you so much for your comments x

You are right. Arch number 666 is nowhere... better it is in the mind of who likes to believe it.
