TL-Planning: Book and Musket

Hey folks, I just wanted to announce to start a new timeline, with its current working title being "Book and Musket". Basically I want to pitch this idea first and get some feedback on a few things I have planned (plausibility, etc.).

First of all the POD: On the 31st October 1926 the assassination attempt of the 15-year-old Anarchist Anteo Zamboni succeeds and Benito Mussolini is killed (with Zamboni still being lynched just like OTL). The main focus of the TL will be Italy after the era Mussolini (which lasted only slightly more than four years) and the severe changes which the country then expiriences.

A few aspects I have planned:
- Italo Balbo as Mussolini's heir (typical, but luckily I have plenty inspirational material for this aspect)
- no Lateran Treaty (major difference, severe consequences)
- no Nazis (I know enough about German history in the period to judge to work this one out)
- other "wacky hijinks" in Europe

So generally I would like to know whenether or not people are interested in the concept and maybe are willing to assist me in a few aspects.

Note to the moderators: If this thread is unfitting here, just move it. Been way too long since I planned a TL.
 
*bump*

No feedback?

Benny forcibily outsted just after 4 years of rule mean that before is body is cold the various faction of the PFI will begin to battle (more politically but some physical clash are assured) for grab the power, and is better not discount what remains of the socialist from raise their head. In this case it will be the king the (excuse the pun) the 'Kingmaker' as the army is behind him; Balbo had good chances but it will be a uphill struggle against Grandi, Ciano (father) or if we want be very possibilistic D'Annunzio who come back from retirement.
For the Laterans, well the reapprochment between church and state begin at least a decade earlier so some formal agreement will be done sooner or later.
