How could you get an independent 'Padania'

The Padanian language (or Rhaeto-Cisalpine ) is a western Romance language (see e.g. Wartburg [1950]), consisting in a homogeneous linguistic system made up by the Ladin, Gallo-Italic and Venetian dialects (Hull [1982], XL). It is spoken in the Po valley in central-southern continental Europe, extended to include the Alps, the Ligurian coast and the northern side of the Appenines, plus some exclaves in Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Lucania (see map). It is also the language of some communities of migrants all over the world. It has developed from Latin in an independent fashion from Italian (an eastern Romance language in Wartburg's bipartition) and is strictly related to French, Occitan, and Catalan. This matter has been relatively neglected in recent years, apart from the monumental work by G.Hull (1982), as well as some papers and a book by Claudi Meneghin (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).

I think Northern Italian having a popular coine could be a start just like Occitan...
 
Well the simplest would be the Napoleonic kingdom of Italy, which referred to the North alone.

Or the original Count Cavour (Piedmont prime minister)plane:
Two large nations:Kingdom of Italy,Kingdom of two sicilies (with Bourbons or Murat heir on the throne),and the papal state divided between these two,with only the City of Rome for the Pope.
This could be a funny timelin,with Italy on side of Central Power that invade two Sicilies in WW-I,and the same Mussolini in WW-II,and Kingdom of two Sicilies in the orbit of British Empire,and after United States.
