Taking into consideration this thread and others like it, is it possible to unite much of Germany or Italy separately from one another with a thirteenth century POD?

Specifically I'm wondering if Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor can end up reducing the Empire to merely Italy, or unite much of the country another way. Further, is it credible to have a German Confederation formed from the northern parts of the Holy Roman Empire as a result of the reign of Frederick II? Could either Germany or Italy come to be as united in the 1200s as Spain was in 1550 or Aragon was in 1410?
