You are correct in noting that it is common to add "Emphasis mine", or similar, if you add emphasis to a section of a quotation.
It is equally common to add "Emphasis original", or similar, if you retain the original italics or bold font.
That way it is clear to the reader that it is not you that is adding the emphasis.
If you wish to remove the emphasis from a quotation, check that it would not alter the original author's intentions. They put that emphasis there for a reason, you do not wish to misquote them.
