Comparable. Unlike some earlier sets the Italian version of alliances is not worth significantly less, but it might be harder to find a buyer. There are plenty of copies of both on mkm.

Hmm, that's interesting I've always been told that during that time frame there were fewer of the foreign language sets produced compared to English.

True but few people want an Italian copy > an English one.

There are probably fewer total Italian copies of cards from Alliances than English copies, but the demand for Italian cards is also much lower.
Also, the Legends set was overprinted in Italian, compared to the English print run, which means that cards from Legends has historically been much cheaper in Italian than English. This has given Italian a reputation as the "cheap language" for legacy cards. This means that Italian is unlikely to ever gain popularity as a way "pimp" a legacy deck, like some other languages.

I'd say "Not as severely underprinted" instead, but other than my semantic quibble this post is 100% accurate and useful.
