It is not a good idea to enter the US under a guise different from reality - as in, if you are a permanent-residence (green-card) holder, then you should enter under the PR status and not as a tourist. Your permanent-residence status will almost certainly be found out when questioned by immigration officials, and don't forget - lying to an immigration officer (for instance, saying you are a tourist when you are not) is a felony in the US.

I don't understand, anyway, why you can't just enter the US with your PR card and your Italian passport. Why do you need your other passport? Isn't your PR permit external to your passport? Or have you lost that,
too?
