Italy is a unitary parliamentary republic in southern Europe. Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious center of Western civilization as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, and for most of its post-Roman history, Italy was fragmented into numerous city and regional states, but was unified in 1861. In the late 19th century, Italy possessed a colonial empire. Italy plays a prominent role in the military, European and world cultural, diplomatic and affairs.
