Yes, of course, but was it recognized as a seperate full nation-state like it is today? Prior to 1927 did any other nation exchange ambassadors with it for instance?What country was sovereign to the Pope?

What country was sovereign to the Pope? The current U.S. ambassador to the Vatican is Jim Nicholson. Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo is the Vatican's ambassador (Apostolic Nuncio) to the United States.
Did any nation send ambassadors to the Vatican in 1861? I don't believe it was thought of as a "country" in 1861, that only came after 1927. It could not "recognize" another state in 1861 could it?
