I'm aware there are a number of quotes that refer to Italian troops fighting alongside Warsaw Pact units and some of those quotes refer to Italian units being under Warsaw Pact operational command, particularly the one in Going Home. I'm not disputing any of that.

As I said earlier you can debate the logic (and wisdom) of the Italians' choices after they enter the War. However simply having Italian forces fighting alongside Pact troops as allies or even being under Pact operational command does not automatically equate to Italy formally joining the Warsaw Pact. If it suits individual GM's to have Italy do so that's their choice. I'm simply stating the fact that there is no canon quote anywhere to confirm it, something which it seems we agree on.

Only indirectly. The first quote I referenced referred to Venice being the only City to escape nuclear attack and then goes on to refer to Rome being rebuilt.

"The Nuova Italia movement was based in Venice, the only city to escape nuclear attack. Nevertheless, Rome remained the focus for the "idea of Italy,~ and the return of central authority to a largely rebuilt Rome In 2100 represented the climax of over a century's work."
