The King of Italy from 1900-1945, during both world wars, was Victor Emmanuel III. The King appointed the Prime Minister, who was the head of the government. Antonio Salandra was Prime Minister from early 1914, just before the war, until June 18,1916. Paolo Boselli then served until October 29, 1917, when he was replaced by Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, who finished out the war and represented Italy at the Versailles Conference.

Italy was broken up into city-states, and each one had its own individual ruler.

In Florence, the city was ruled for the most part by the Medici family, except for a brief span from 1494-1498, when Savanarola replaced the family until he was hanged for heresy.

Venice was under the rule of the Council of Ten, who passed laws, chose the official ruler of the city, and controlled him. They were the legal power of Venice. In the strictly visual sense, the Doge ruled the city, but he was merely a puppet at the whim of the Council.

During the Renaissance, Italy was broken up into a group of city-states, and each ruled itself independently.

In Florence, the Medici family was in control, apart from a brief span from 1494 to 1498 when Savanarola took charge until his death by hanging for heresy, when the family retook the city.

The figurehead of Venetian power was the doge, but he was merely a puppet for the Council of Ten, who passed laws, chose the doge, and controlled him. They were the true political and legal power in Venice.

King and queen of Italy in 1595?

There was no King or Queen of Italy in 1595, unless I am badly mistaken. Italy was fragmented until the mid 1800s, when it was unified. In the Middle Ages, there was a Kingdom of Naples, and there was a Kingdom of Sicily. There may have been other kingdoms I am failing to remember, but there were certainly a number of sovereign states, both monarchic and republican.

No, Queen Victoria did not reign during the Renaissance. The Renaissance movement spanned roughly the 14th - 17th centuries. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 - 1901, which means her reign commenced early in the 19th century and ended (upon her death) at the start of the 20th century.
