To this day it is an autonomous nation and not governed by any laws of Italy.\n\nMonaco is in France and is also an independant nation (a Principate).

That area were the Papal States. They were controlled by the Pope and under the protection of France.\n\nBut in 1870, Napoleon III lost the war against Prussia and wasn't able to protect the Pope anymore so the unified Italy could invade Rome.\n\nBy the way, the last area to join wasn't Rome but Trieste and Trento, taken from Austria after WW1.

Gregory IX was named Pope.\n\nIt is argued that he represented both the high point and beginnings of the decline of the papacy.  He immediately confronted Frederick II, which resulted in Frederick's open claim of sovereignty over Rome, and a few years later instituted the Papal Inquisition, both of which decisions proved to result in the long term alienation of the public from the Church, making way for the successes of the Protestant Reformation.
