Italy didn't become a unified nation-state till 1861-70, and Germany only became a nation-state in 1871, so by historical standards the time-span for possible alliances is short. The answer is no. Although Italy was nominally one of the Central Powers it at first remained neutral in WW1, then fought alongside the Entente (Britain, France, etc.) against Austria-Hungary and Germany. In WW2 Italy changed sides.
However, historically, North Italy and Germany - Prussia were part of the Holy Roman Empire, so for almost a thousand years the two states were part of the same state.

How did Italy exit World War 2?
Italy exited the Second World War by surrendering to the Allies. After they had been driven out of North Africa by the Allied (British and American) troops in Operation Torch, the Italian forces went back home. In the Spring of 1943, the Americans and the British attacked Sicily (a territory of Italy) and headed for the mainland soon afterwards. The Allies captured Rome, the capital, and the dictator of Italy, Benito Mussolini, fled to Germany. In September of 1943, Italy surrendered, leaving Germany and Japan alone to continue the fight against the Allies.
Did Italy turn against germany?
Yes, that did happen. In 1943, just as the Allies were about to invade Italy, the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was removed from power and arrested by the King of Italy. The new prime minister, Pietro Badoglio, began negotiations with the Allies to surrender and switch sides. In early September 1943, Italy officially "surrendered" to the Allies and declared war on Germany. However, Italy was split in half- the southern half ruled by the Italian government, and the northern half ruled by Mussolini (who had been rescued from imprisonment) and his German friends- so the war did not end for Italy until May 1945.

As WWI was a war that found its roots in territorial ambition, it was only natural that Italy would join on the side that would promise it land.
