Dear Gennaro:

To fix your problem, you need to open the TeXShop preferences window 
and, after clicking on the "Engine" tab, at the bottom of the "TeX + 
Ghostscript" dialog check the box that reads "Save Postscript File". 
In order for this to have any effect, you need to typeset your 
document using "TeX + Ghostscript". This is done in one of several 
ways:

[1] you can instruct TeXShop to typeset documents using "TeX + 
Ghostscript" as the default typesetting mode. This is done by opening 
the TeXShop preferences window and, after clicking on the 
"Typesetting" tab, you can select "TeX + Ghostscript" as your 
"default script".

[2] You can typeset using "TeX + Ghostscript" on an as needed basis 
by selecting the TeX + Ghostscript typesetting script from the 
TeXShop "Typesetting" menu.

[3] You can place the following string at the very top of your .tex 
file: %&latex.
     If you want to use pdflatex instead you can put the following 
string at the very top of your .tex file: %&pdflatex.

Option [3] is the one that I use.

By the way, I am Italian too. :-)
