What states existed in the center and south of Italy in the 14-15th century?

There were many states on the Apennine Peninsula. For example, Rome was the capital of the Papal States – the theocratic state of the popes. There was the Republic of San Marino – the most ancient state in Europe at the moment.

In the northeast, the Venetian Republic was a strong state, which, in addition to possessions on the northern coast of the Adriatic, controlled Corfu, Crete and Cyprus.
