Thanks:

I tried to follow your suggestions, but with no success. The line
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
was already present in my ~/.18n; then in my /usr/local/etc/scim/global 
I changed the line
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8
into
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8,it_IT.UTF-8,zh_CN.UTF-8
; then rebooted and tried with
$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs
, and the opening of Emacs was accompanied by the following output:

[rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged

. Then, when I activated scim with C-space 
only the European input method was available.
Any other hint?

Cheers,
Rodolfo
