Provinces of Italy

In Italy, a province (in Italian: provincia) is an administrative division of intermediate level between municipality (comune) and region (regione). | | |} A province is composed of many municipalities, and usually several provinces form a region. The region of Aosta Valley is the only one that, strictly speaking, has no provinces: the administrative functions of the province are provided by the regional government; however, loosely speaking, it is seen as a single province.
