WI: Two Italies

I've read about the fact that the monarchy was far more popular in the South then in the North? Would it have been possible for the far more Republican North to break off from the Monarchist South and have two Italy's?

Might be possible but I can see a couple of problems.

a) The monarchy itself if from the north.

b) Who gets Rome, the great icon of Italian unity and identity?

a:They were more liked than the King of Two-Sicilies(which is in the south)

b: the Pope since Italy isn't united anymore ;)

Why not? With a civil war, with Communists and allies (socialists, republicans, actionists) taking over the north and monarchists, Catholics and former fascists kepeing the south.
Provided The Powers do not intervene, which is pretty impossibile since America sure as hell would.
