They are all members of the European Union. They use the same currency (Euro). I would say they are.
The European Union is an ever-evolving alliance of fifteen European countries designed to foster economic cooperation among its members. With its roots stretching back to just after World War II, this alliance has the ultimate goal of unifying the economic interests of these countries in order to reduce the chance of widespread armed conflict returning to the European continent.

I can't say I am entirely sure what you are asking here, but if it is a question of countries born of unification then yes to Italy and Germany.
Germany was orginally a loosely unified group of principalities (ie. Prussia, Bavaria). Sometime in the late 1840s Otto Von Bismarck set out ot unify said principalities into a German Republic. He did accomplish this in I believe 1871. If you are doing an essay about this topic, than as far as German unification goes, Otto von Bismarck, is an absolutely critical starting point for your essay.
Italian unification, also known as the Risorgimento, was set in motion with the Congress of Vienna (in where European borders were redrawn after the defeat of Napoleon). Italy, like Germany, was previously a group of loosely affiliated principalities. Some key people to research for this are Giuseppe Garibaldi, a soldier and Giuseppe Mazzini, a politician. I believe Italian unification also wrapped up around 1870-1871, though you'll need to confirm that.
So yeah, either this helps or I have interpreted your question wrong and this is totally pointless.
Also, Germany, Italy and Austria (Austria-Hungary at the time) were all UNIFIED in a military alliance, which they ensured mutual support for each other. It was started in the late 1800's and led up until World War 1. When the war began Italy rejected the alliance on the grounds that Germany and Austria were aggressors and not using the Alliance as a means of defence. It was the Italians view that the alliance be a defensive strategy.

I wasn't conscious that Italy did % help from different international locations to unify. certainly it became into the British possibility to different international locations that would desire to take earnings of the civil strife in Italy in the process the unification technique to maintain out of Italy (e.g. the Austro-Hungarian Empire which had its attractions set on lots of Northern Italy) that prevented such intervention and allowed the Italians to handle their very own inner problems.

I think Germany and Austria (in addition to Swizerland) are more related to each other than italy is.
