Schengen visa valid

I am applying "Schengen" visa for Western Europe. According to "Schengen agreement", you must apply the visa through first country you are going to. Austria is my first stop, after checked with several travel agents, I realize that I can only get one month valid for staying in Western Europe which is not enough as I plan to travel 2 month. Travel agent told me an alternative – apply "Schengen visa" through Italy (they got visa for some people who want to travel in

western Europe longer than a month, but not start from Italy before) – by this way I can get 2 month valid. The problem is I don’t want to change my schedule and my air ticket will only show Taipei to Vienna not Italy. The travel agent said that I can explain to Vienna Customs that I change the schedule after I got "Schengen visa". Does this excuse work? Will I get any trouble in Vienna Customs? Please give me some advise. Thanks.
