A province is composed of many municipalities, and usually several provinces form a region. An exception to this is the region of the Aosta Valley, which, 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 110 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 ISO 3166-2:IT lists all two-letter codes for the provinces.
