Luca,

The transform function will convert from one projection to another.
See http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch06.html#id2793026.

In order to be able to use this function the projected and source SRIDs must exist in the 
spatial_ref_sys table.  If the geometries in your the source tables have not been assigned a SRID, 
the SetSRID(geometry, integer) function will allow you to assign the correct SRID.

To merge the two tables together you can create a new table with a geometry column in the required 
output projection.  You can then insert into this table the values from your two input tables 
projecting the geometries as necessary.

I hope this gets you started,
Emily
