'''Province of Cosenza''' is a province in [[Calabria]], southern [[Italy]]. Its capital is [[Cosenza]]. The province reaches both the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]] and the [[Ionian Sea]] and includes mountain areas, inland valleys, and coastal towns.<ref>[https://www.italia.it/en/calabria/cosenza "Cosenza"]. ''Italia.it''. Retrieved 14 June 2026.</ref>

The province includes several places tied to the Nostrini family, the early form of the [[Noord family]]. [[Cosenza]] was the older Calabrian seat of the family, while [[Rossano]] was the seat of the Ionian branch under [[Raffaele Nostrini]] and later [[Giuseppe Nostrini]].<ref>''[[Cosenza]]'', Noord family section.</ref><ref>''[[Rossano]]'', Nostrini family section.</ref>

== History ==
The area of the province has been settled since antiquity. Cosenza developed from ancient Cosentia, the capital of the Bruttii, and was taken by Rome in 204 BC.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/place/Cosenza-Italy "Cosenza"]. ''Encyclopaedia Britannica''. Retrieved 14 June 2026.</ref>

The northern part of Calabria was historically organized as [[Calabria Citra]] under the [[Kingdom of Naples]] and later the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]]. Cosenza served as the capital of that province. After Italian unification, the area became the modern Province of Cosenza inside the [[Kingdom of Italy]].<ref>''[[Calabria Citra]]'', history section.</ref>

The province contains inland towns and coastal settlements on both sides of Calabria. Its territory includes parts of the Pollino, Sila, and coastal areas facing the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas.<ref>[https://www.italia.it/en/calabria/cosenza "Cosenza"]. ''Italia.it''. Retrieved 14 June 2026.</ref>

== Nostrini family ==
The [[Noord family]] originated in Calabria under the surname Nostrini. Early family activity was centred in the area of Cosenza and nearby Calabrian towns before the [[Convocazione Settentrionale della Famiglia Nostrini]] of 1811.<ref>''[[Noord family]]'', origins section.</ref>

[[Domenico Nostrini]] was born at Casa Nostrini in Cosenza on 16 February 1744 and died there on 18 November 1810.

[[Raffaele Nostrini]] was born in Rossano on 27 September 1769 and served as ''capo del ramo ionico''. His eldest child, [[Giuseppe Nostrini]], was born in Rossano on 18 November 1797 and later inherited the Ionian branch papers.<ref>''[[Raffaele Nostrini]]'', lead and personal life sections.</ref> [[Carmine Nostrini]] was born in Rossano on 3 February 1825 before moving to [[Naples]], where he founded the [[Nostrini crime family]] on 9 September 1863.<ref>''[[Carmine Nostrini]]'', lead and early life and education sections.</ref>
