Pisa

Pisa, officially the Republic of Pisa, was a small Tuscan state that existed in Season 2 of Varna, between the existences of two unified Tuscan states.
In 1533, during the Second Italian War, Sardinia was losing to the Lombard Second Army, and they were pushed south as far as Livorno, allowing Lombardy to establish the Republic of Pisa. Pisa's independence would be formally recognised in the Second Treaty of Venezia which concluded the war.
In 1538, when Lombardy began their quest to reinstate legitimate Pope Clement VII (who had been replaced during the First Italian War), Pisa joined the Lombards, soon followed by Siena and Florence. Their forces captured the city of Livorno and invaded the remainder of the Sardinian vassal with help from Siena. With the fall of the Italic vassals of Arezzo and Grosseto, Pisa, Siena and Florence undertook some land exchanges, before inviting Prato to unite with them to form the Tuscan Federation.
