Sorry for the response in English. It's been a long time since Italian was spoken in my house.
This is a known glitch in Creality firmware (4.2.x mainboards and TFT screens). A firmware upgrade is supposed to fix it. Unfortunately I don't know which version of the firmware is the right one.
The Glitch---When the printer gets a command that sends a message to the printer TFT screen, the command is ignored because the message cannot be displayed due to the glitch. M0 is the normal Marlin pause command and sends "Click to resume..." to the printer display. M1 is ignored for the same reason. M117 is ignored because it always sends a message to the screen.
In Cura you can use the post processor "PauseAtHeight". Unfortunately it uses M0 to pause. In the "After Pause Gcode" box enter G4 S180 ("S" is time in seconds). That will give you 3 minutes before the printer resumes on it's own.
Also in the Pause At Height settings, if there are Z-hops in the Gcode file then "By Height" doesn't work and you must use "By Layer". I don't bother with the Retraction settings. After hand feeding the new filament to change the color I pull back about 3mm of filament. Use some long-nose tweezers to grab the string hanging from the nozzle and when the print resumes yank it off. You will get a clean restart.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
