Hi, apparently he visited to Italy towards the end of 1944 - it gets a brief mention here: http://www.royal.gov.uk/OutPut/Page147.asp

Italy declared war on Britain on 10 June 1940. However, it weighed very heavily on Mussolini's conscience and in August 1941 he invited King George VI, the Queen and Mr Churchill to a fortnight's holiday in the sun in Cecina. Here they are strolling along the Viale Fratelli Rosselli on that holiday in Cecina.
