Windows does not set $LANG by default, nor does it set it when you
change your regional options.  There must be some specific software
component which thought it a good idea to set LANG.  Either way, neither
"FR" nor "IT" are POSIX compatible locale settings.

You can workaround the issue by either unsetting LANG before calling
bash, setting it to a POSIX compatible value, or by utilizing the
/usr/share/locale/locale.alias file.  Just add a line like this to
locale.alias:

  IT	it_IT.utf8
