Yes. The popes of the Catholic Church once ruled over a significant portion of Italy, including Rome. In 1929 the Lateran Treaty established the State of Vatican City (aka the Holy See). It is a sovereign nation with the pope serving as monarch, though most governmental business is dealt with by others.
