WI/AHC: The Medici Kings of Italy

With a POD in the time of Cosimo get the Medici family to the throne of Italy. Preferably before the 1700s which means you have about 250 years and the goal is only really what the what be considered a kingdom of Italy in those time periods, the north.

Extra points for the eventually taking the south, the surrounding islands and possibly the Papal States. Even more points for them getting recognised eventually by the Pope with a possible capital in Rome and the most points for American colonies (because why not?)
