Just a question about scenarios where Italy goes red. If there's a red Italy that includes central Italy and Rome, what would most likely happen to the Vatican and the Pope? Would hardcore communists just execute him like the tsar and flatten the vatican and build apartment blocks? Or would they try to co-opt or "get along" with the Catholic Church in order to not lose support among catholics in Italy and elsewhere? Would this decision change depending on the time period in which Italy went red?
