Is there anyway that your native Italian royal families (Medici, Este, Gonzaga, Farnese etc) can survive to the present (without being as apathetic/inbred/hedonistic/homosexual as OTL) with a POD no later than 1660? In other words your OTL Ferdinando, Francesco Maria and Gian Gastone de Medici, Oddoardo, Francesco and Antonio Farnese; Rinaldo III d'Este, and Carlo III Gonzaga are still around but have a little more luck with a) the same wives; or b) different wives (then who).
