There have been over 200 Italian popes.
Italy has no official, state religion. So the country has no leader of religion. Nevertheless, Italy is the location of Vatican City, which is the headquarters of worldwide Roman Catholicism. The Vatican's leader is the Pope. That office currently is filled by the 265th and reigning Pope, Benedict XVI [b. April 16, 1927].

In the 15th Century, Rome was invaded and sacked. The Pope at the time was able to escape due to a regiment of Swiss soldiers who all died to prevent his being pursued. Since then, the Swiss have had the exclusive honor of guarding the pope in memory of those men.
