Wrong Keyboards in VM

I have an ESXi 6.7 server with VM configured with Italian keyboard.

I work with a Web Client on a PC Win10 Pro in Italian and obviously Italian keyboard.

I find myself in great difficulty because, regardless of which OS Guest (Linux or Windows) in the VM the Italian keyboard is not recognized and all the keys are distributed in another way.

Eg:

Characters on the physical keyboard

\ |

ù§

'?

-_

Characters in the VM using the same keys

ù§

Nothing

à_

'?

In addition to having the wrong texts in the Notes, in this why I have the wrong texts even in the names and passwords.

To have the Italian keyboard in the VMs I have to configure the keyboard of my PC configured as an English keyboard.

In this way I can write in Italian in the VMs, but obviously I have the "wrong" keyboard in the notes and in the VM creation / configuration panel.

I did not understand what was wrong.

No fix but maybe a workaround for now.
Access the VMs with native procedures such as RDP.
It is expected that the keyboard via RDP is working as expected.
