The Holy Father, the Pope, is the Vicar of Christ on earth. His job is to rule Christ's Church, and to lead every man on earth to heaven. The Holy Father has no jurisdiction over protestants in Italy or anywhere else. Furthermore, he is here to show Christ's love for His people, not to punish people.
Technically, yes, as the pope is theoretically the head of the entire Church. However, Protestants do not recognize the pope as their leader.
None.

Peter was the first pope in Italy.
No, the pope is not against Italy. However, I am sure Pope Francis would cheer on any Argentine football team should they play against Italy.
The pope of the entire Catholic Church lives in an independent city state called Vatican City which is surrounded by Rome, Italy. He is not just the pope of Italy but for the entire world.
Italy does not have its own pope. There is only one pope who happens to live in Vatican City, surrounded by the city of Rome. In 2008 Pope Benedict XVI was the pope and currently (2014) that pope is Pope Francis.
Yes, rome is owned by pope. Fun facts, it os the largest city in Italy, and is the Capital of Italy :)
Most Catholics think of the Pope as their Holy Father, Christ's vicar on Earth, the heir of Saint Peter and the head of their Church. Most Protestants think of the Pope as the crowning symbol of Catholicism's apostasy from the anti-establishment teaching of Jesus. You don't ask about Orthodox Christians, most of whom consider both Protestants and Catholics to be pagans.

Pope Francis is from Argentina but is of Italian descent. His father was from Italy and his mother's parents were from Italy.
If you are referring to Pope Paul VI, he was from Italy.
