A few of those don't make sense with the timeline. For example, Italy was split into several petty Duchys, Kingdoms and Republics, such as Florence, Milan (eventually became the Kingdom of Italy by the Napoleonic wars, might have been so before, although I'm pretty sure Milan was Austrian territory in 1740), Venice, the Papal States, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica (in a state of civil war), Naples, etc. It wasn't a unified "Italy" until much later.
