This is one of two things. First off, are you sure you're updating the CMOS clock as part of your reboot process? During initialization the system reads the CMOS clock, so if you don't keep it updated the time will always be incorrect. You might want to look at the clock from your BIOS to see what time it is. The second issue is time zone. Unless you have a dual boot system this probably isn't an issue though. If you have your CMOS clock set to UTC and you use and unadulterated Windows then every time you boot the other operating system your clock will be wrong. Since you appear to live in Italy though you shouldn't be at UTC +/- 6 hours, so this is probably not the problem.
