Your logfile does not reveal a common problem, but anyway, is /tmp mounted
in textmode? To check you'll have to run mount and search for an entry
/tmp or if this entry does not exist then the entry for / does apply.
If the entry is marked with "(textmode)" then you have to remount /tmp to 
binmode.

 mount -buf "$(cygpath -m /tmp)" /tmp 

If this does not help, please try if you can switch the layout with this command

 setxkbmap -v it -model pc102

bye
