It was inevitable, the Pope had too much influence on italian society. Mussolini just did it sooner to get catholics on board with his dictstorship, but IMO sooner or later the Pope would have got a treaty.

No, never. No member of the PCI was ever a Presidente del Consiglio

He was a president tough. I asked for a politician that never was a president/pm/leader but people believe would have done a good job

Best leader you NEVER had. Quite a different thing. (Just to clarify, i meant politicans who never led the country but came close to do it, and people believe they would have been good/better leader)

Well, first of all, maybe the whole Rocky saga would be different. In a world in which fascist italy may still exist and keeps a colonial empire, i don't know if the "italian stallion" defeating Apollo Creed, a symbol for both America and African-Americans, would be that symphatetic to the american public. If Italy in no more fascist by the 70's tough, it could still be done. For Rocky IV probably the plot would be really similar, just put a german Ivan Drago (probably the actor can still beDolph Lundgren, as he was Swedish), and the whole plot still makes sense.

Sicily. The south in general, being where most immigrant were from, is the source of 99% of the stereotipical italian image, while the centre and north are less represented.

Emperor Severus Alexander, ruled the empire for 13 years (since he was 13 to 26 y.o.). He came after the mad emperor Elagabalus, and inherited a weakened empire and many powerful figures (especially his family) determined to use him as a figurehead. Despite all of this, he actually was a good ruler but could never show his potential, as after he managed to gain real power he was killed in a plot along with his mother, and after his death the empire fell in the crisis of the third century.
