'''Latium''', officially the '''Republic of Latium''' (Roman: ''Repubblica der Lazio'') and often referred to as '''Rome''' or the '''Latin Republic''' is a country in the Italian peninsula. It is bordered by [[Tuscany]], [[Venice]], and [[Naples]]. The Republic was formed after the downfall of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_States Papal States] and the murder of Pope [[Bonifacio X]] in 1908.

The Latial Famines of 1901 to 1903 had triggered popular revolts in the Papal States. Pope [[Innocent XVII]] became the main target of the public's wrath due to his and his predecessors' administration of the States. Innocent XVII proceeded to die in 1904. One of his favorite cardinals, Remondo di Muzio, was swiftly elected by the College of Cardinals as [[Boniface X]] soon after.

A few weeks later, [[Boniface X]] was assassinated by radical republican [[Jacopo Marzullo]] in the Ponte district of Rome. Marzullo was allegedly in collaboration with an unnamed bishop. Soon after the incident, the members of the Roman Curia were expelled while the College of Cardinals was thrown into chaos.
