Right chaps, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a plausible scenario in which the Kingdom of Italy regains its de facto, rather than simply de jure, existence. The rules are:
- POD sometime between 1400 and 1700.
- The Kingdom doesn't have to rule over the whole of the peninsula, just enough for its monarch to call himself King of Italy without everybody laughing.
- Bonus points if the Papacy supports the new Kingdom (not like with the Risorgimento in the 1860s).
- Extra bonus points if the POD is after the end of the Italian Wars.
