Metropolitan City of Messina, Metropolitan administrative region in northeastern Sicily, Italy
The Metropolitan City of Messina covers 3,266 square kilometers and includes 107 municipalities along the Strait of Messina and Peloritani Mountains.
The Metropolitan City of Messina replaced the former Province of Messina on August 4, 2015, as part of Italy's administrative restructuring program.
Each municipality within the Metropolitan City maintains its own festivals, including the Saint Nicholas celebration in Saponara and Mount Carmel festivities in Roccalumera.
The region generates an annual GDP of 10.98 billion euros and connects Sicily to mainland Italy through its strategic position at the Strait of Messina.
The territory includes the Aeolian Islands, a group of volcanic formations in the Tyrrhenian Sea that form part of the Metropolitan City's administration.
