During the German invasion of France, the Italians invaded, went in some miles to the southern Alps, fought for less than a month, and then stopped when the German-French war ended.

The front Mussolini was on was inside a mountain. The Italians and the Austro-Hungarians had turned peaks into bunkers filled with machine guns and light cannon, and the shot at each other over and over.

German Bergjaegeren were trained in Austria and were utterly terrifying. They made it worse by allowing Waffen-SS mountain troops to exist, so you had well-trained racist psychos in climbing gear.

The Italians were given more modern German planes (Messerschmitt Bf.109Gs) for air defense of Sicily in 1942-43, and Stukas in the desert before that. The Italians tried to attack Britian during the Battle of Britain with their Fiat biplane fighters and trimotor bombers and it did not go well.

The planes were of the Junkers Ju-52/3m type, the trimotor transport with fixed landing gear. They also used the DFS gliders which were towed to just before the drop zone, and they glided in.

Not entirely true. The Nazis conducted other airborne operations, most notably in Sicily
