The way I fixed, following suggestions directly from the X site:
______________________________________________________
 Section "InputDevice"

Identifier  "Keyboard1"
Driver      "Keyboard"                                                    
                     
    Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc104"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "us,es"
    Option "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

Now, with only pressing alt and shift I switch from one key board on
the fly. No need to play anymore with anything else, nor to load any
custom xmodmap. In your case, I would say, what you need is the block

    Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc104"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "us,it"
    Option "XKbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
