So, as part of my ongoing timeline over on the other place, Italy undergoes a drastic societal change as a result of government mismanagement of the Red Biennium (spurred on by a more militant Italian Socialist Party), the Fiuman Expedition, and the Vlora War leading to a three way civil war that ends with the victory of a Nationalist coalition led by Gabriele D'Annunzio. Now, without going too much into details about the technological developments that occur later on in the timeline, Italian military doctrine and development takes a different turn from OTL. By coincidence, I've become increasingly interested in rocket artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems as of late, which brings me to my question: What would a hypothetical interwar Italian rocket artillery look like and how could it develop?
Right now, the current design idea I have for it is something based off of or influenced by the Infernal Machine used by Giuseppe Marco Fieschi in his failed assassination attempt on Louis Phillipe I of France, much like how OTL's Katyushas were possibly influenced by it. That being said, I'm unsure about how it could be developed or who could spearhead the development of it, and I'm hoping folks can give some suggestions or insight on the idea as well as their own ideas for possible homegrown Italian rocket artillery systems.
