Replace an Italian physical keyboard with a US keyboard

My daughter's mac crashed when she was in Italy. I had her buy a new 2021 14" Macbook pro while she was there. Can I replace the physical Italian physical keyboard with a US keyboard when she gets back to the US?

Mu understanding is that the keyboard is integrated with the "bottom" portion of the Mac, so it would likely be a very expensive swap. There are some silicon overlays for the keyboard which may be a less expensive option (although those should not be left on when closing the lid). The keyboard itself can be controlled in System Preferences > keyboard > input sources to change the keystrokes to a U.S. keyboard.
