Hard to say. Historically, Italy certainly awaited the outcome of Germany's initial offensive before committing itself, but it did not wait that long. With Britain joining the Allies more slowly/tentatively (or not at all?) they may well have decided to sit tight. On the other hand, they did really want a slice of Dalmatia.....
