The kingdoms of Italy historically refer to several states and realms that existed on the Italian peninsula before unification in the 19th century. Notable among them are the Kingdom of Sardinia, which played a crucial role in the unification process, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the south, and the Papal States centered in Rome. Other important regions included the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The unification of these various kingdoms into one nation-state was largely achieved in 1861 under the leadership of figures like Giuseppe Garibaldi and Count Camillo di Cavour.

The Kingdom of Germany, the kingdom of Bohemia, and the Kingdom of Italy.
Northern Italy was governed by various kingdoms and dukedoms, whereas Southern Italy was part of the Byzantine Empire. All these independent states and regions became part of a united Italy in 1861.
It was divided into many city-states and kingdoms.
It was a series of kingdoms
As of October 2023, the Italian peninsula is primarily divided into 20 regions, each governed by the Italian Republic. Historically, various kingdoms controlled sections of the peninsula, including the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the Papal States, among others. However, these kingdoms were unified into a single nation in the 19th century. Today, Italy is a unitary parliamentary republic, so the concept of multiple kingdoms controlling sections is no longer applicable.
The Duchy of Parma, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Kingdoms of Piedmont-Sardinia and of the Two Sicilies, and the Papal States are examples of some of Italy's historical states.Specifically, these states formed with the loosening of French control in 1814 and the holding of the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815. The duchies of Parma and Tuscany respectively formed in northwest and northeast Italy. The kingdoms of Piedmont-Sardinia and of the Two Sicilies formed respectively in extreme northeast Italy and the island of Sardinia and in central and south Italy and the island of Sicily. The Papal States formed in central Italy.
The two largest Germanic kingdoms were the Visigothic Kingdom and the Ostrogothic Kingdom. The Visigoths established a significant kingdom in what is now Spain and southern France, while the Ostrogoths ruled over Italy, particularly during the period of Theodoric the Great. Both kingdoms played crucial roles in the transformation of the Western Roman Empire and the subsequent development of medieval Europe.
If you mean: how many are ruled by princes (in Europe), the answer is two: Monaco and Liechtenstein. If you mean: how many know that title as part of its recognized nobility, the answer is: all kingdoms in Europe (7) plus a number of countries where this is still a recognized rank, mostly former kingdoms such as France and Italy.

I don't think Italy had city states. There are regions of Italy, and cities, like Tuscany and Venice, but not necessarily city states. Ancient Greece had city states such as Athens and Sparta, though.
