Yes, that would work, but text-to-speech doesn't work as well as human narration. I've done this occasionally with Hindi, read along while listening to TTS, and find the machine's pausing and intonation off-putting. And since aural aesthetics are the reason I love Italian, I'm not going to butcher it that way.
