Why is northern Italy so weird?

I get that the horizontal line north of Rome is halfway to San Marino, but the western line doesn't seem halfway to Monaco, it's right next/in Rome ... ? Is that somehow Vatican?

Image searched this:

Map of Italy based on which capital city is closest. (For Rome vs Vatican I based it on if you're closer to the Vatican or the city centre of Rome).

So you can live in Rome but be closer to Vatican vs the "centre" of Rome.
