Italy was very cynical, as well as morally and spiritually unstable at the end of WW1
They were bitterly disappointed by the Allies failure to keep the promises of April 26, 1915, when they were wooed into joining their cause in Versailles and St. Germain. However, that was not the immediate reason for the mass unrest. Some causes that helped were the riots of 1919, and the stark contrast of the working class and the luxury of the rich. Inflation was rising fast, and the government was too weak to do anything major.
Fascism took offense against rising demand for Socialism & the Parlimentary regime.
In 1939, Under-Secretary for War Production, Carlo Favagrossa, had estimated that Italy could not possibly be prepared for such a war until at least October 1942.

The Italian Army (Regio Esercito) remained comparatively weak and had suffered while carrying out the April 1939 annexation of Albania. As Bierman and Smith wrote↑ , "the Italians were, militarily, barely on the same planet". The Italian tanks were of poor quality. Italian radios were virtually non-existent. The Italian artillery was of World War I-era quality. The Regia Aeronautica's (Air Force) primary fighter was the Fiat CR-42, a biplane. The Regia Marina (Navy) had no aircraft carriers. Bierman and Smith stated that the Italian regular army could field only about 200,000 troops at the start of World War II. They estimate the Regia Aeronautica could field approximately 1,760 aircraft, only 900 of them considered as "front-line machines
