Why didn't the Italians fight very hard in the invasion of Italy during World War 2?
The first opportunity for the Italians to defend their own land was when the Allies invaded Sicily in July 1943. By this time in the war, the elite Italian armies had surrendered in North Africa or had been beaten in Russia. The Italian army was weak from losses and the home front was tired of sending their men off to die. Their ally, the Germans, were sending more troops into Italy to help fight the Allies but also to ensure the Italians would not give up(which they did in September).
The defenders of Sicily included coastal defense forces and an elite German panzer unit, the Herman Goring Division. Most of the Italians were poorly armed and some still wore the Adrian helmet of WW1. The forces were under the command of the Italian HQ, Commando Supremo, however German General Senger was in command of the German forces. They were able to hold back two Allied armies, the US 5th and British 8th Armies, for 2 months but they were out-gunned.
This defeat and the bombing of Rome, caused a public outcry and resulted in the Grand Council calling for Mussolini's resignation. The Germans suspected that the Italians were negotiating for a peace. Then just before the Allies landed at Salerno on 9 Sept, the Italian government announced their surrender. The only Italians who fought against the Allies were the die-hard Fascists or those of military age who were unlucky to be behind the German lines.

What is the Italian title Conte Maschera?
Conte Maschera is Italian wording used to define the title gefursteter graf in German or princely count in English. Its abbreviation is written as conte (masch.) .
The wording developed in the 19th century, for heraldic purposes, from the Italian phrase "vestirsi in maschera" (in fancy dress). Therefore, a count in fancy dressing or a count of princely regalia are loose translations to its meaning. It follows from the German translation of gefursteter graf (the changing of a count into a prince).
The comital title of princely count was used when an Italian noble was elevated to the highest social class, which contained the members of reigning imperial or royal houses. Princely counts are individuals of princely highness. Other such rankings of princely highness include His/Her "Imperial Highness", "Royal Highness", "Grand Ducal Highness" and "Serene Highness". A conte maschera ranked above noble princes lacking in any form of princely highness.
Conte maschera is the highest of all comital titles. A count of such a ranking is addressed "His Illustrious Highness", abbreviated as H.Ill.H..
The other two titles in Italian fashioned through "count" are conte (a noble count) and conte palatino (count palatine), abbreviated as conte (palat.). Count palatines reigned over their territory autonomously, in the manner of a sovereign prince, and governed independently from the kingdom that their territory was attached to. The word "palatino" is derived from the Palatine Hills of Rome. A count palatine is loosely translated as a "high count".
An example of a holder of the title conte maschera is H.Ill.H. Count Vitus Sebastian Barbaro, Patrician of Venice. He is an Italian titular princely count of the House of Barbaro to the nominal territory of the Grand Principality of Transylvania, as connected to Austria's Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
