Howdy,
Why do you continually reset the roman font? First the \setromanfont (or
\setmainfont) should already set the italic to that italic font so \textit{...}
will work out of the bag. If you need a special font use the \fontspec command
to define it, don't set the roman font all over again.
Good Luck,
