You can manually place the files created by you under
tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/

or tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/

You need to have two files for content model.
model file
file to register the model.

Yes i created two file:

scModel.xml and someco-model-context.xml (the Spring configuration file).
So i have to place both in one of those directories?

Yes exactly and restart the server.
Also you need to create that web-client-config.xml file and place that as well at same location.
In that file you need to add the entry of the aspects and types which you have created to make it visible in the webclient.

I moved the 3 files on
Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\extension (the extension directory didn't exist so i created it)
but the model doesen't work.

In the file someco-model-context.xml there is the tag <value> where (i presumed) must contain the route for the model file so i wrote this:

<value>C:/Alfresco/tomcat/webbaps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/extension/scModel.xml</value>

Is it correct?

No it should be
alfresco/extension/scModel.xml

I did but still no work. I thought that there was a problem in my files so i used the 3 files from your site about the someCo project.

I put the file in the directory but it's the same, doesen't work.

If i put the 3 files on C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\extension nothing happend (Alfresco start but the module is not load)
Instead if i try to put the 3 files on C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension Alfresco doesen't start, the Explorer show me an error 404 and the Share say that there is a problem with the server. I have to add something to the global properties of Alfresco?

See Jeff Potts article about this, you need to add configuration to tell Alfresco that you got a new type that should be displayed: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html#part-2-configuring-alfresco-share
