This is a known "problem", at the moment I use a US-EN keyboard so I 
don't have this kind of problems, anyway sometime ago I had a notebook 
with an italian keyboard.

In order to have characters like "{", "}" (but also "`" that is vital 
for shell commands) I had to use xmodmap.

If you use search Google for italian+keyboard+xmodmap you should find 
everything you need.

In an italian keyboard at the right of the "P" key instead of the 
"["/"{" and "]"/"}" keys that you usually find in US/EN keyboards you 
have accented letters. Within Windows (try the nodepad) you can always 
produce "{" and "}" characters by pressing "Alt Gr" + one of the above keys.
