AFAIR, there were a lot of reports about problems with AIX on the list. The
list archive might give you some information.
I think it had to do with Numlock being turned on.

Get http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/XF86Config-4.bz2, unbzip2 it
to /etc/X11/XF86Config and change the line
    Option "XkbLayout"  "de"
to
    Option "XkbLayout"  "it"
    
Whit this and the solution for the XKB problem with AIX will give you an 
italian keyboard.
