Italian SSR

Introduction
In our timeline, during WWII, Italy is a fascist state ruled by Benito Mussolini. But what if there was a USSR-funded communist coup during WWII? What if Italy became a Soviet Socialist Republic

POD
The first change between our timeline and the alternate timeline is the Soviet funding of a communist coup while Benito Mussolini is under arrest. This leads to a pro-Soviet communist Italy and this leads to Italy becoming an SSR state.
