The first thing we need to determine is the situation. Try setting
some product prices in the database to N,NN format, leaving the rest
at N.NN. Are the ones specified at N,NN displaying properly?

That will tell us whether Perl is expecting N,NN in the price data.

Then put the price data back to N.NN and try these as your last lines:

Locale          it_IT
Locale          en_US
Locale          it_IT default 1
