The March of Tuscany (Latin: Marchiae Tusciae; Modern Italian: Marca di Tuscia [ˈmarka di ˈtuʃʃa])^[a] was a march of the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. Located in northwestern central Italy, it bordered the Papal States to the south, the Ligurian Sea to the west and Lombardy to the north. It comprised a collection of counties, largely in the valley of the River Arno, originally centered on Lucca.
