Remember, Nome is a string value coming from the form. You can't call 
manage_edit on a string. You can use getitem to lookup the object given its 
id string to do what you want:

<dtml-call expr="manage_addDTMLDocument(Nome,bello)">
<dtml-call expr="_.getitem(Nome).manage_edit(pippo,pluto)">

I might suggest coding this as a Python script tho, which would make it a bit 
simpler:

context.manage_addDTMLDocument(Nome,bello)
doc = context[Nome]
doc.manage_edit(pippo,pluto)

The script will need Nome, bello, pippo, pluto as parameters. You'll notice 
that the syntax is nearly the same, minus all the <dtml-call > crap.
