Holy See–Italy relations are the special relations between the Holy See, which is sovereign over the Vatican City, and the Italian Republic.
The current United States Ambassador to the Holy See is Joe Donnelly, who replaced the ad interim Chargé d'Affaires, Patrick Connell, on April 11, 2021. The Holy See is represented by its apostolic nuncio, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who assumed office on April 12, 2016. The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See is located in Rome, in the Villa Domiziana. The Nunciature to the United States is located in Washington, D.C., at 3339 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.
The Holy See has long been recognised as a subject of international law and as an active participant in international relations. One observer has stated that its interaction with the world has, in the period since World War II, been at its highest level ever. It is distinct from the city-state of the Vatican City, over which the Holy See has "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction".
The Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the Holy See is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of China accredited to the Holy See, one of its few de jure embassies in the world, and the only one remaining in Europe. It also has responsibility for relations with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia to the Holy See is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the Holy See, the universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the Catholic Church and the sovereign city-state of Vatican City. The embassy is located outside the Vatican City territory in the Italian capital of Rome. The mission is currently headed by Ambassador Laurentius Amrih Jinangkung which was sworn in by President Joko Widodo on 14 September 2020.
