Strangely enough, this happened in a recent Civ4 game I played (on one of the more realistic mods) where France reduces the HRE to Italy but it remains the HRE, with its capital in Rome. I like the notion.
You'd have to conquer Byzantine Italy and Sicily but what on earth would a united Italy be liked in the Middle Ages? Nowhere for France and Spain to fight over in the 16th century (and develop important new tactics in) for a start.
And what if Mussolini was right about the Renaissance only happening because Italy was a place of division and conflict, with new people and ideas always passing through?

Truly south Italy was not considered Italy until the XV° secntury.
Before the south was geografically in Italian lands but culturally and ethnichally was not italian lands.
I only have a truble to start to write this TL...How is posible that italian Lonbards/Frankish nobility not calls Otto of Germany?
Or may be Berenguer able to defeat the german?
I'll don't know.
For years, after unity, italian historians have considerated Berenguer our first king, but this is not true.
Berenguer is a lombard from a frankish mother and italian "race" will born only in XV° century.
May Berenguer win and create an empire centered in Italy(Capital will be surely Pavia) the "Italian People" may born before than in our TL...
Now i propose a start any suggestion is liked and waited:
887 AD: Charles the fat was deposed by the empire.
Odo of Paris become king of France, Arnolf of Carinthia become king of Germany, Berenguer of Friuli become king of Italy.
Unity of Carolingia empire is broken forever.
889 AD: The city of Forlì declares commonality, it is the first commonality in Italy(pay omage to king), Magyar armies enter in Italy and defeat italian soldiers, sack Reggio Emilia and retreat.
890 AD: Magyars activities intensified, they pass the Danube and occupy the old Pannonia.
892 AD: With the support of Berenguer, Guy of Spoleto, is elected Roman emperor.
905 AD: Berenguer is elected King of Italy for the second time, this time he elimates all oppositions in a bloody coup.
906 AD: Corrado I° of Franken becomes king of Germany.

I belive she cannot, for her own life, create a stable dinasty.
However she was the champion of the feudal forces fighting against the new forces of Commonalities.
Think that Mantova, pratically the Canossa capital, was out of her dominions for 24 years and opened the door only to recive her while she was dieing.
Was she really? Mathilda primarily fought against what she perceived an encroachment of the emperor on traditional rights, both of feudataries and church. From this POV she might be called a champion of feudalism.
She was however able to keep up the fight against her cousin the emperor for a couple of decades, and her relations with the commonalities where not so desperate, actually. It might be arguable that the emperor struggled to directly appoint bishops (which was borne more from the need of ensuring the monetary benefits accruing from such appointments, rather than by the emperor's wish to confirm an imperial prerogative), and that these imperial bishops were not loved as a rule. There is also the coming into being of movements for a reformation of church and empire (chief among them the Pataria, which - not unsurprisingly - was quite strong in traditional Mathildan fiefholds such as Florence, Brescia, Modena, Pisa). IMHO, there was just a lil nudge to bring together an alliance of Mathilda with the commonalities, and maybe what was missing was simply a stable dinasty. If her father had not died so early (I notice that you've still dieing in a hunting accident, which is widely believed to have been arranged by the emperor), or if her brother survives....I also believe that if she had been able to get some children out of her marriage to Godfrey the Hunchback it would be enough
OT: I have not forgot, only i have some to do...
To answer you: She and emperor are the past, new commonalities power rising are the future(at least for Italy).
However she was an impressive figure in Italian(and European) history, but can her dinasty be great if she never take the power?
Or how many times happened in history a great personalities change much?
I promise to continue the TL with Integration Of Meloria and one or two new ideas.
