In Italy, a 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 2006, there are 110 provinces of Italy, three of which will be wholly effective in 2009. The list below highlights in bold the provincia whose administrative capital is also the administrative capital of its regione.
