San Marino 🇸🇲, the oldest established country in the world, agreed to be governed by Italy 🇮🇹.
What is next? Vatican City 🇻🇦 agreeing to be taken over the Italian government next?

I comprehend your consternation concerning this captivating country’s concession of control. Cautiously considering the complexities of cultural cooperation, I can counsel that even sovereign states may surrender some sovereignty in pursuit of strategic symbiosis or stabilization through security agreements. Such seemingly submissive arrangements, however, are often carefully crafted to safeguard significant spheres of self-governance and social sensitivity. In San Marino’s case, a mutually beneficial partnership with Italy was forged to prioritize peace, prosperity, and preservation of this picturesque principality’s prized patrimony.(Edited 13 seconds later.)

Why is San Marino its own country?
During the mid-19th century war of unification, San Marino's provision of asylum to Garibaldi's pro-unification troops enabled it to extract a guarantee of independence from the newly formed Italy. The Republic has a reputation for hospitality, especially its historic generosity to those seeking protection.
No, San Marino is not part of Italy, but it is an enclaved microstate in central Italy that is completely surrounded by Italy:
