Rule reminder

'Quand'anche' (sometimes written 'quand anche') is a formal literary connective meaning 'even if' used to introduce a hypothetical concessive clause. It is always followed by the congiuntivo imperfetto (present time) or congiuntivo trapassato (past time) in the subordinate clause, while the main clause typically uses the conditional. Example: 'Quand'anche mi supplicasse, non cambierei la mia decisione.' It is more emphatic and literary than 'anche se' + congiuntivo.
