Niccolo, I replied on the Italian list, but I'll copy here. I recently used an adapted version of Chris Schmidt's mass_to_osm.py to import the first road layer for Merano. The script and the output/input files can be downloaded here [1]. You need OGR and change the script to reflect the shapefile schema. It would be nice to have this integrated in JOSM or as a separate application with a user friendly GUI.
