Italy stalls on the French mountain fortresses and then it's industry crumbles without clear access to overseas imports of coal. It had enough trouble in OTL as a member of the Entente with clear sea lanes. Its colonial empire likely gets overrun. The combined Italian and Austrian navy would be a issue, so it maybe stops some naval stuff from the Entente like the evacuation of Serbian troops or landings. So that could avoid any Balkan front from opening.

But it's likely enough for the Central Powers to win.

Italy don't even try to launch an assault towards the alps, even Cadorna know was futile and the most recent evaluation showed that only a meager part of the French Army will be used to cover it...the more probable use of the italian troops will be on North France/Belgium and maybe (big maybe) in the east.
