Hi Luigi,
Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I don't see why else it would fail. To check out what character sets are available for your database, just select it, then run the following query:
Look for one with charset "utf8". Let me know what you find! I'd be curious to know if that wasn't the cause.

[EDIT: sorry! I meant SHOW CHARACTER SET (singular), not SHOW CHARACTER SETS. That would be too obvious... *thanks* MySQL....!]
