Lich'ora it's related to kedusha; why should a bracha in chazaras hashatz
be any different from what it is in the silent ShE?   But in any case,
this isn't a halachic question.  Al pi din Ledor Vador can be said in the
silent ShE (as nuasch Italiani does), and Ata Kadosh can be said in the
chazaras hashatz (as nusach Sefard does).  Switching between them is only
a minhag of nusach Ashkenaz; so even if he gets it wrong he's yotzei.
