Just to confuse things, Rome wasn't part of Italy until October 1871 [1]
when the Papal States were absorbed into the new country (Italy itself
wasn't created until 1861) following a plebiscite.

The Papacy didn't accept this result and claimed to remain a separate
country. In 1929 the Lateran Treaty created a new Vatican City State
controlled by the Holy See.

[1] Rome was captured by Italian armies on 20 September 1870.
