You will have to speak to Microsoft to see if there is an Italian OS
alternative for this:

Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs) Further Enhance East Asian
Text Input

Posted: March 18, 1999

International communication keeps getting easier thanks to
full-featured, high-performance IMEs. An IME is a program
that allows computer users to enter complex characters and symbols, such
as Japanese characters, using a standard
keyboard. Microsoft is now offering two Global IMEs-Global IME 5.02 and
Global IME for Office XP.

By launching any language version of Word 2000, Internet Explorer 5.01
or greater, or Outlook® Express-then selecting
Global IME 5.02 from the taskbar, you can write the language you choose.

And now, you can input Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text into any
Microsoft® Office XP applications, Web forms,
and e-mail messages on any language version of Windows® XP, Windows®
2000, Windows Millennium, Windows 98,
and Windows NT® 4.0 with Service Pack 6 (SP6) or later. And it's easy.
After you have installed the Global IME
for Office XP, you just start your Office XP program, select the
language from the Language bar, and you can type
the language you choose, regardless of the language version of Office XP
or Windows you are using.
