Detailed explanation-1: -The Italian city-states were numerous political and independent territorial entities that existed in the Italian Peninsula from the beginning of the Middle Ages until the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy, which took place in 1861.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formation of the modern Italian state began in 1861 with the unification of most of the peninsula under the House of Savoy (Piedmont-Sardinia) into the Kingdom of Italy. Italy incorporated Venetia and the former Papal States (including Rome) by 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71).
Detailed explanation-3: -Usually, everything inside a country’s borders is part of the same nation-but not always. For example, the country of Italy completely surrounds two independent states: Vatican City and the mountaintop Republic of San Marino.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the Renaissance, Italy was a collection of city-states, each with its own ruler-the Pope in Rome, the Medici family in Florence, the Doge in Venice, the Sforza family in Milan, the Este family in Ferrara, etc.
Detailed explanation-5: -Inside the Italian peninsula, there are two small political entities, the independent state of the Republic of San Marino, an enclave on the eastern side of the Apennine Mountains near the Adriatic coast, and Vatican City State, an enclave within the city of Rome and home to the Pope.
