As of 2015, how many provinces are there in Italy?

In Italy, a province (provincia) is an administrative division of intermediate level between a municipality (comune) and a region (regione). There are currently 107 provinces in Italy.

On 3 April 2014, the Italian Chamber of Deputies gave its final approval to the Law n.56/2014 which involves the transformation of the Italian provinces into "institutional bodies of second level" and the birth of 10 special Metropolitan cities. A further 4 such cities were added later. The reorganization of the Italian provinces became operative by January 2015.

The new law which transforms the provinces is preliminary to their abolition, as a revision of the second part of the Italian Constitution is needed in order to change the current bicameral parliamentary system and to abolish the designated provinces.
