La Province of Catanzaro (Italian: provincia di Catanzaro) is part of a region Calabria, en Italy.
The province of Catanzaro overlooks two seas: the Ionian to the east and the Tyrrhenian to the west. To the north it borders the province of Cosenza, northeast to Crotone, south to Reggio Calabria and southwest to the province of Vibo Valentia. The province of Catanzaro is bordered on the north by the Sila plateau and on the south by the Serre Calabresi. The central part consists of the isthmus of Catanzaro, a narrow elongated valley of about 30 km, which joins the two coasts of the Gulf of Squillace to the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia, which is also the narrowest point of the entire Italian peninsula.
The Greeks called the inhabitants of this region "Italoi", in reference to their king Italo, who according to legend descended from the Trojans. Under the emperor Augustus the whole of Calabria was called Italy, a name later extended to the whole peninsula. Today the most famous tourist area of the province is that between Catanzaro and Soverato, in the center of the Gulf of Squillace: here beautiful cliffs alternate with long pieces of white beach.
