Thanks for the clarification.
In its light, I'm coming to the following conclusion:
US copyright italian author's right ("diritto d'autore italiano")
----------------------------------------------------------------------
compilation work <---> collective work ("opera collettiva")
derivative work <---> creative elaboration ("elaborazione creativa")
In the USA, a compilation work is a collective work has its own copyright and thus is also a derivative work.
I hope to get it right... or am I confused?
