After the allies had defeated Italy. It's not as if a popular movement had risen and defeated the fascists.
A popular movement had risen, with help from international allies. There were always partisans, they didn't suddenly appear when help arrived.
Similarly, the fascists were also helped by their own allies. The conflicts internally in countries did not happen in a vacuum.
