Please try to put this into your .emacs (untested!):

(add-to-list 'ispell-local-dictionary-alist
	     '("italianx"
	       "[[:alpha:]]"
	       "[^[:alpha:]]"
	       "[']" t
	       ("-C" "-d" "<italian-dictionary>")
	       "~latin1" iso-8859-15))

(setq ispell-dictionary "italianx")

But replace <italian-dictionary> with the name of the Italian
dictionary on your system.

What does that mean? Did you run ispell from a shell?

I don't know aspell. I can't help you here.
