Hence, it seems that your problem is triggered by the it_IT.UTF8
locale...
Nonetheless, I've been trying to reproduce the bug on a test system
(actually chroot environment) where I installed a few locales, but I am
still unable to reproduce it... :-(

In summary, on my test system, apt-listbugs seems to work flawlessly
with different locale settings...

Since I am still unable to reproduce the bug, it may still be useful to
see the detailed errors on *your* system.
Please issue the following command (this time without altering your
italian locale settings):
$ apt-listbugs -d list apt-listbugs
and paste *the whole* output in your reply.

OK, this excludes a number of possible causes of the issue...

I don't think you should be worried about the fact that LC_ALL is not
set: I have your exact locale settings, except that I have en_US
wherever you have it_IT (despite being an Italian native speaker
myself!).
Needless to say, apt-listbugs works correctly on the systems I use
and/or administer! :-o

As a temporary workaround (until we figure out what's wrong on your
system), you can edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs and change the
line
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10";};
into
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"env LC_ALL=C /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10";};
This way, apt-listbugs should be able to work, when invoked by apt-get
or similar package managers.
It will write English messages, but, at least, it should work...
