Yes, Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy. It was granted special autonomy in 1946, which allows it to have its own government, constitution, and legislative powers. This status was established to recognize the island's distinct cultural identity and historical context. The autonomy is outlined in the Statute of Autonomy of the Region of Sicily, which provides for a degree of self-governance within the framework of the Italian state.

That is a very interesting question. Please remember that Mussolini started the fascist movement in the early 20s. So this question has really never been poised or given much thought. If Italy had joined the Allies, then Hitler and his generals would have had to position troops in southern Germany/former Austria to cover them. During the Czechoslovakia situation Mussolini did move parts of his army to Germany's southern border, and the Czech PM was hoping that Mussolini might help to stare the Germans down. This is one of the many reasons that the Pact of Steel was formed. Hitler did not want to have to squabble with Mussolini. They were both dictatorships, so he did not fear the Italians going over to the Allies.
