[texhax] letterhead

[Steve Schwartz]

Renato,

I think (a) you've defined your pagestyles backward and (b) you need to
put the 2nd argument of \fancypagestyle in braces:

If I've understood what you want, the above is what you want to see on
your first page, so define a new pagestyle "firstpage":

\fancypagestyle{firstpage}{    % note opening bracket
  \fancyhead[C]{\includegraphics[width=.2\columnwidth]{logo}\quad
\hrulefill}
  \fancyfoot[C]{\tiny street 1, 0100 rome\\ 
  \\xyzxyzxyz \includegraphics[width=.1\columnwidth]{logo2}}
}   % closing bracket

and this is what you want on all subsequent pages, so remove the
\fancypagestyle.

\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\hrulefill  \includegraphics[width=.2
\columnwidth]{logo}\quad }

and you are on the first page, so this should be:

\thispagestyle{firstpage}
