Italy's long coastline really makes it almost impossible to blockade, and its access to the Adriatic, and the Balkans, really makes it invulnerable to blockade. Also note that the agricultural sector in Italy has been underproductive (for various reasons) since around the 1880's and therefore there was space to expand its agricultural sector.
Besides a combined Austrian and Italian fleet would have proved to be a grave menace to both the British and the French. Southern France is within easy striking distance from Italy and Sicily dominates the centre of the Mediterranean. Libya was another asset since it allowed Italy to strike both French and British interests in the Med. Frankly Italy in WWI was extremely important in Mediterranean and Balkan terms.

The fact that they had butcher Cadorna at the helm, an army divided by region, speciality and class and antiquated equipment, told against them. It is worthwhile noting that the Austrians deployed some of the best troops against them (ex the Karstjaegers) and held all the mountaintops.
BTW I'm not Italian

You will find tons of excel files that will allow you to tweak all these matters... making Italy and Great Britain more reluctant to join the war, etc. etc...
