A small territory surrounded by a larger territory is called an "enclave." Enclaves are distinct political or cultural units that are completely enclosed by another territory, which may differ in governance, ethnicity, or other characteristics. An example of an enclave is Vatican City, which is entirely surrounded by Italy.
Italy is a predominantly Catholic country but most other religions are practiced there as well.
Well, one thing that makes Italy unique is its shape. If you were to look at a map you would see that Italy is shaped like a boot, unlike any other country. Italy is also known for its wine. If you would like to find out other reasons why Italy is unique, you should google. I'm sure you would get lots of information. Hope this helps!
Christopher Columbus was an Italian man. When Italy would not sponsor his trip across the Atlantic, he went to other countries. Spain agreed to sponsor him so he sailed in name of Spain.

San Marino and the Vatican are both completely surrounded by Italy. Lesotho is completely surrounded by South Africa.
Rome Actually, Rome surrounds the Vatican. The Vatican City doesn't surround any other city.
Vatican City is it's own country.
The Vatican is an independent city-state surrounded completely by Rome and Italy. Monaco is an independent principality surrounded by France on three sides and the Mediterranean on the other. Both are located in Europe.
If one nation, or an independent piece of territory, is surrounded totally by one other it is called an enclave.If it is not an independent piece of territory, but is a part of a different country, it is called an exclave.
The only countries surrounded by other countries in Europe would be San Marino and Vatican City, which are both surrounded by Italy. Vatican City is completely surrounded by Rome and is only one city. San Marino is composed of nine cities and is neighbored by numerous Italian cities in Northern Italy. Monaco could also technically be classified as being surrounded by France, however, its located on the French Mediterranean coast. Monaco is composed of six cities.
Lesotho

There are 3, actually. Vatican and San Marino, both inside Italy, and Lesotho, surrounded by South Africa. That excludes countries that have access to the sea, like Monaco and Gambia.
