Mussolini came to power in 1922, but did not have absolute power until roughly 1925ish. What is the latest Mussolini can be stopped after WWI???
 
literally on the day of the March on Rome: but a civil war is quite possible at the time. The problem is that the establiahment was vwry much more scared about the rossi than about the fascisti.

You'd need the King to agree to Facta's (the PM) request to put Rome in a state of siege and Facta himself to be more conscious about the risk Mussolini posed. Maybe a Salandra ministry wpuld be better for that?

After WWI? That's easy. On November 12, 1918, he slips while going down a flight of stairs, hits his head, and dies.
 
What about a palace coup led by Ciano, Balbo, Bottai, Grandi and other gerarchi right when they saw the cult of personality beginning in the early 30s ?

I think it was Balbo (couldn't find the quote) who said about Musso: a Masaniello who believes himself to be a Julius Caesar, and perhaps he should meet the same fate.

The thread asks for the "latest time" that Mussolini can be stopped. Since if on November 13, 1918 he went swimming in the Amazon and was eaten by piranhas he would also be stopped, your post is wrong

Returning to the OP- its a difficult question as Mussolini formally falls to the King and the Grand Council of Fascism. It was a legal coup in the sense that every official acted within his lawful capacity. In theory, any time the Grand Council met they could recommend to the King Mussolini's dismissal. Throughout the Mussolini era, the King continued his formal role and was held in a great deal of respect. Don't know enough about the era to tell you who would win a showdown between the King and Mussolini at any given point

I think when Rome falls and Hitler just says "Fuck off" to Mussolini and either kills him then and there or throws him to the Italian Rioters
