__TOC__
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.
As of 2006, there are 109 provinces in Italy, three of which are newly organized, and will be effective only as of 2009. The list below highlights in bold the province whose administrative capital is also the administrative capital of its region. Note that lists all two-letter codes for the provinces.
''Polizia Provinciale'' (Provincial Police) is a general term used to identify provincial-level police forces in Italy.
