Well, digging with more time into the problem... I have found that 
almost surely the cause is the presence of CookieCrumbler (which I 
didn't even mention in the previous mail), used for authentication in 
that Zope site.

Using lynx to invoke the script instead of wget solves the problem.
This is because the user agent must be able to accept the cookie __ac, 
and Lynx fully supports cookies handling, so I have found this "workaround":

/usr/bin/lynx --accept_all_cookies --auth=myuser:mypassword 
"http://my.url.it/intranet/reset_portal_content/ZScriptHTML_tryForm?__ac_name=myuser&__ac_password=mypassword" 
-dump > /dev/null
