Because of the way that faxsend works to parse the -c options (using 
readConfigItem internal code function) you have to present a config 
string to the internal parser just as it would have been presented if it 
had read it from the config file.  The shell is going to strip those 
quotation marks that you have in your call, so you're going to need 
escaped quotation marks in addition, like this:

 /usr/sbin/faxsend $@ -c "LocalIdentifier:\"Lorenzo Fasci\""

Note that I did not use "ì", but instead used "i" ... that is because 
the former is not valid in LocalIdentifier.

You can change more with multiple -c options.

 /usr/sbin/faxsend $@ -c param:value -c param:value

This happened because you did not precede "FAXNumber:0508332008" with "-c".
