What is the most plausible way for the Italian monarchy to survive to the modern day with a divergance after WWI? Is it possible after 1929? 1939? At all after Mussolini comes in?

What if they had split the country in two?
There are also strong suggestions that they actually should have won the referendum, but that it was rigged.
But is it possible? I'm actually thinking of attempting it in my TL of the hashemite caliphate, but I'm thinking a Socialist or Soviet Republic in the North, and the Kingdom of Savoy in the sout, and a recreated Papal States.It wouldn't be palatable to the Italians, nor would it be needed. While it's true that the North, after a longer German occupation and with a longer traditionof Republican and leftist tendencies, generally voted for the Republic, the vote was rather close in general, so much so that monarchists claimed foul.

It would take external force to be applied, as was the case for East and West Germany. While at this time there are centrifugal forces at work in Italy, in your ATL's 1950s-60s a reunification would be what the Italian want, so you need foreign powers to enforce such a division.
