Try with function keyboard-translate.
You say you are newbie with Emacs. You might discover you need to change too
many things. Just a couple of examples:
* dabbrev-expand (M-/)
* undo vs. negative-argument (C-_ vs. C--). Actually, undo is best located in
C-/, but not in your layout.
I moved from the Spanish layout (similar to Italian) to a dual (switching)
layout: US std. / US intl. w/ deadkeys (gives you all latin-1 characters).
Now the slash is one easy hit away and so is the single quote mark. I'm not
going back to Spanish layout even if I have to use a Spanish keyboard.
