Lucentezza is a province located in northeast Adamantina. It is the 11th-largest by area and the 5th-most populous province within the republic. Its capitol and largest city is Semerillo. Lucentezza was admitted to the Republic of Adamantina as the second province on March 11 1808, and was among the original provinces of the United Provinces of Asterias Inferior. It is bordered by the Catarina to the north, Gapolania to the east, Sarno to the southeast, Prosperita to the southwest and the East Arucian Sea to the west. The province has a population of approximately 2,421,981 people, approximately 7.23% of Adamantina's total population. The province covers an area of 38,844 km2 (14,998 sq mi), which is about 3.89% of Adamantina's total area.
Various indigenous peoples inhabited Lucentezza for thousands of years, most of whom were expelled by settlers of Etruria between 1541 and 1723. Lucentezza received its name from 'Terra di Lucentezza', the original name of the coastal region which was first initially settled by Verenzio De Sarro. Terra di Lucentezza translates to "Land of Luster", as it was the site of the first discovery of diamonds in Adamantina. Since then, the settlement patterns in Lucentezza have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in northeast Adamantina; the province's northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from Moresco and Dinara, central Lucentezza by migrants from Palestrina and southern Lucentezza by settlers from Kapitala and Aventina.
Lucentezza has a diverse economy with a gross provincial product of $54.2 billion in 2020 and is a major exporter of gemstones, marble and wheat. It has several metropolitan areas with more than 100,000 and a number of smaller cities and towns. Lucentezza's most important cities are Ametista (population 201,103), Giada (population 164,021), Zaffiro, Lucentezza (population 152,023), and Ambra (population 135,024). Lucentezza is home to two professional sports teams; Semerillo Muratori and the Semerillo Diamanti.
