PROVINCE OF FLORENCE

The 'Province of Florence' () is a province in the Tuscany region of Italy, with an area of 3,514 sq. km and a population of 933,860 (2001) in 44 ''comuni''.
Much of the province lies in the plain of the Arno river and has thus become an exurban sprawl around the city of Florence. The northeastern part of the province, in the Apennines, has escaped this fate and remains unspoiled.
The city or ''comune'' of Florence is the capital both of the Province and the Region of Tuscany; particular places of beauty or interest in the province include Barberino Val d'Elsa, Fiesole, Greve in Chianti and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.
