Vatican City is all that remains today of the Papal States.
Vatican City did not exist as an entity until 1929 with the signing of the Lateran treaty. Before that, the Vatican was merely a neighborhood in Rome where much of the Catholic Church was located. All of central Italy, including Rome, were included in the Papal States.
During the Renaissance, the Italian city-states were often embroiled in conflicts with each other over territory and power, leading to a complex web of alliances and rivalries. The Papal States, governed by the Pope, also played a significant role in Italian politics, sometimes intervening in the affairs of the city-states to further their own interests. This dynamic political landscape contributed to the cultural and artistic flourishing of the Renaissance period.
The Italian Renaissance took place in Italy from the 14th to 17th centuries and was characterized by a resurgence of interest in art, literature, and classical learning. It was centered in cities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, where wealthy patrons and artists supported this cultural flourishing. The geography of Italy's diverse regions also influenced the development of unique styles in art and architecture during this period.
