===Italy===

''Source''<ref name="icocregister"/>

Until the mid-nineteenth century, the Italian peninsula comprised a number of states, some of which were monarchies. During the [[Italian unification]], the monarchs of such agglomerated states lost their sovereignty and their titles became purely ceremonial. The resultant throne of the Kingdom of Italy was held by the former king of [[Kingdom of Sardinia|Sardinia]].
