independent and achieve unity
John Cabot was born in Genoa, which is in the modern country of ITALY. However, at that time Genoa was an independent city state and Italy would not become a unified country for several centuries.
The question as written is unanswerable; If it's an independent republic, then it is not part of Italy. If the question intends to ask: What country entirely bordered by Italy is an independent republic? then the answer is San Marino. Vatican City and Seborga are both quasi-independent countries bordered entirely by Italy, but neither is a republic.
The Vatican City is the country within Italy. This is where the Pope resides. Actually, there are two independent countries within Italy - the Vatican and San Marino.
No. It is an island that is part of Italy.
Yes.
All of the countries that neighbor Italy are independent. These countries are France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. All of Europe are independent.
The Vatican became an independent country in 1929 with the signing of the Lateran Treaty. Before that is was considered as part of Italy or of the Papal States.
Italy became its own nation-state in 1861. King Victor Emmanuel II united the states of the Italian Peninsula and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
They become independent in 1679
