The territories of the Republic of Saint Peter, Italian Stati Pontifici, and Stati Della Chiesa are governed by the church.
Explanations:
The mentioned territories form the central part of present-day Italy. For a period of about 1114 years between 756 AD and 1870 AD, these territories were under the direct control of the Pope.
In today's date, though they are not governed by the Pope directly, the church has partial control over them extended by the Italian administration.
