At the end of this treaty, there's a summary of annexes:
"fist annex: Map of the territory of Vatican City
second annex: Map of the buildings with extraterritorial privilege 
and fiscal and expropiation exemption.
Third annex: map of the buildings with fiscal and expropiation 
exemption."

Thanks for the translation. Yes, I too think that everything outside 
of the Vatican walls is at least not sovereign Vatican territory. And 
it confirms my believe that there are three flavours here, summed up 
by the three annexes here. I would love to see good maps and/or up to 
date lists of these territories.
The second and third kind are Vatican property, I think (or property 
of the Holy See, to be more precise). Why else the protection clause 
against expropriation?
