Italy's history is tied closely to the history of Catholicism.
No one "discovered " it. To be discovered something has to all ready exist. The Catholic Church traces its history to Jesus and the Apostles. For the first 280 years of Christian history Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire. This changed after the conversion of Constantine who provided religious toleration with the Edict of Milan in 313 AD. Later, the Council of Nices attempted to unify Christianity as a religion that would unite the Roman Empire. The church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of Christianity and Roman paganism. The Catholic Church ended up christianized the pagan religion and blurring the differences making itself the Supreme religion in the Roman world for centuries. In 590 Pope Gregory I consolidated lands controlled by authority of the pope that would become the "Papal states."
Because emperor Constantine adopted it as the national religion of the empire to try to unite it
Since they felt so strongly of nationalist beliefs they tried there best to unite Italy. Mazzini wrote pamphlets encourage Italians to unite. Cavour became prime minister of Sardinia which would help Italians unite under one banner.

Spain wanted to unite their lands under Catholicism, specifically the form of Catholicism practiced by the Spanish monarchy known as Roman Catholicism. This was part of their efforts to consolidate power and promote religious unity and authority.

All Hallows Eve = Samhain Christmas = Yule Candlemas = Imbolc Easter = Ostara Litha = Whit Sunday Lughnasada/Lammas = St Mary's Mass Mabon = Harvest Festival The adoption of pagan holidays and conversion to Christian meanings started with the Roman Church (the predecessor to the the Catholic Church) and was done for reasons of political expediency. The Roman Emperor Constantine needed a religion that would unite his failing empire, so paganism and Christianity were merged.
