Italian province

Apennine administrative district

An Italian province is an administrative division of Italy, smaller than a region but larger than a municipality.

Italy has over one hundred provinces, each typically named for its capital city: the province of Milan, the province of Florence.

Provinces handle local services like roads, schools, and environmental protection.
