italian: città del vaticano 

[tʃitˈta ddel vatiˈkaːno]

‘latin’ –> civitas vaticana)

(officially vatican city state) 

(or the state of ‘vatican city’) 

‘italian’ –> stato della città del vaticano

‘latin’ –> status civitatis vaticanae

.

*”vatican city” is a ‘walled enclave’ within the city of ‘rome’*

.

(with an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 842, it is the smallest sovereign state in the world by both area and population)

(it is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state (a type of ‘theocracy’) ruled by the ‘Bishop of Rome’ – the ‘Pope’)

(the highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergy of various national origins)

(since the return of the Popes from ‘Avignon’ in 1377, they have generally resided at the ‘apostolic palace’ within what is now ‘Vatican City’, although at times residing instead in the ‘Quirinal Palace’ in ‘Rome’ or elsewhere)

(‘vatican city’ is distinct from the ‘holy see’)
(or ‘latin’ –> sancta sedes)

(the ‘holy see’ (which dates back to ‘early christianity’ + is the main ‘episcopal see’ of 1.2 billion latin + ‘eastern catholic’ adherents around the ‘globe’)

(the ‘independent city-state’, on the other hand, came into existence in 1929 by the ‘Lateran Treaty’ between the ‘Holy See’ and ‘Italy’, which spoke of it as a new creation, not as a vestige of the much larger ‘Papal States’ (756–1870), which had previously encompassed much of ‘central Italy’)

(according to the terms of the treaty, the ‘Holy See’ has “full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction” over the ‘city-state’)

(within ‘Vatican City’ are religious and cultural sites such as ‘Saint Peter’s Basilica’, the ‘Sistine Chapel’ and the ‘Vatican Museums’)

(they feature some of the world’s most famous paintings and sculptures)

.

(the unique economy of ‘vatican city’ is supported financially by…)

the ‘sale’ of ‘postage stamps’ + ‘tourist mementos’*

*’fees’ for ‘admission’ to ‘museums’*

*the ‘sale’ of ‘publications’*
