Image:Province Italiane posizione.pngIn Italy, the province (in Italian: provincia) is an administrative division of an intermediate level, between municipality (comune) and region (Regione).

A provincia is composed of many comuni (pl), and usually several province (pl) form a region, (with the exception of the region of the Aosta Valley, which strictly speaking has none, the administrative functions of a province being provided by the Regione. Loosely speaking it consists of a single province).

For example Modena and Maranello are two comuni of the provincia of Modena; Modena and Reggio Emilia are two province of the regione Emilia-Romagna.

As of 2004, there are 103 provinces of Italy. In 2005, 4 new provinces in Sardinia will be effective, and 3 further new provinces will be effective in 2009, thus bringing the total to 110 provinces. The list below highlights in bold the provincia whose administrative capital is the administrative capital of the relevant regione, too.

ISO 3166-2:IT lists the two-letter codes for the provinces.
