Would be possible/plausibly for Italy to be unified early than it had in OTL. If so how (a Timeline may ensue)
It depends on how much of what is now Italy you want to unify. At the time, the North and the South of Italy had gone through diverging paths, as they had been more or less since the invasion of the Longobards. You could have a relatively large state in the North calling itself Italy, and it would be more or less acceptable.
However it goes, consider two local obstacles: the Pope and Venice. Neither of them are going to like a powerful italian state encroaching on their border, so they might well drag foreign powers in to fight alt-Italy.

Why? If he did and posted to that thread, you'd just accuse him of being a necromancy or something.
You do realize that you've "chastized" Jimbrock for a post he made 5 months ago, don't you?![]()
From:
Wikipedia's article on Pope John X.
The defeat and death of Berengar in 924, through the combination of the Italian princes, again frustrated the hopes of a united Italy.
Is a united Italy in the tenth century plausible? How long would it stay united?
Thanks.
