In Italy, the province (in Italian: provincia) is an administrative division of an intermediate level, between municipality (comune) and region (regione).
- A provincia is composed by many comuni (pl), and usually several province (pl) form a region, (with the exception of the region of Aosta Valley, which has only one provincia: Aosta).
- For example Modena and Maranello are two comuni of the provincia of Modena, and Modena and Reggio Emilia are two province of the regione Emilia-Romagna.
