[SOLVED] alt_r do not work with international layout

Hi everyone,
I have a laptop with italian layout. I just bought an international layout keyboard, so I wanted to switch to us layout.
With italian layout altgr works perfectly, but when I switch to us layout it does not work anymore.
I use i3wm, so I cannot rely on desktop environment facilities.
It does not work both on tty and x11.
My keyboard is the anne pro 2 if it could help.

here I post some command outputs:

$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=us

$ localectl status
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: n/a

$ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+us+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"     };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

$ locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
italian
it_IT
it_IT.iso88591
it_IT.utf8
POSIX

The us layout has no 3rd level shift (AltGr), but the international variant has.
setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl
