What's probably the problem is that you didn't follow the instructions 
precisely (personal experience :-) ). Some possible things from 
looking at your host config:

* Be consistent in your names. You use site_name, sitename and
   sitename.it => keep it the same.

* Make sure there's a 'virtual_host' VirtualHostMonster in your zope
   root. It should be there by default, but still.

* I'm in doubt about your rewrite rule:

* You use sitename.it instead of sitename

* You use 'Plonesite', is that really the name of a subfolder (=the
   plone site subfolder) in your zope root? If your plone directory is
   called 'sitename', then you should use sitename instead of
   Plonesite.

I hope one of these pointers helps :-)
