Hi Alessandro,
you can't do it as simply as you can price a nominal bond. The indices and the forward inflation curves bootstrapped from swaps are available, but not inflation coupons (mimicing ibor coupon) nor the relevant helpers to bootstrap forward inflation from inflation-linked-bond quotes.
Note that you should probably not use a forward curve from inflation swaps to price an inflation bond (see article by Bank of England for a discussion: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/quarterlybulletin/qb060101.pdf). Anyone else need this soon?
Best regards,
Chris
