Hi Luna. The first it's correct and the second it's wrong but, in general, this is a big problem for the non-native (sometimes it's a problem for native, don't worry if it's difficult). In Italian grammar, the main sentence and subordinate sentence must have concordant tenses. If you search on the web "concordanza tempi verbali" or "Consecutio Temporum Italiano" you will find why only the first is right. it's an important topic and it takes time to learn it and use it naturally.
