(It. ''Provincia di Firenze'') 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 .
