You would need to get English switch plates which fit the standard Italian boxes, and the cover plates would have to be appropriate for the placca on the Italian box. Italian electiricains tend to want to get more wires through a box, so they are normally deeper than UK boxes. Here is a page with (surely!) an Italian light switch to meet any aesthetic demands. http://www.archiexpo.it/fabbricante-architettura-design/interruttore-211...
I agree with Fillide and I

stand by to see some mad stuff ... it must the regs that make the electricians put a switch at EVERY door way even if there is a switch just a foot or two away that does the same job. The best tip I can give you is to ask for a separate light circuit to lighting sockets in eack corner of your salone (where table lamps tend to be). Then with one switch all the table lamps will go on instead of groping round them all trying to remember where the switches are.
