You need to do following things.

1. Remove "Inherit Permissions" options from the mentioned space.
2. Invite EVERYONE as "Consumer" role.

This can be achieved programmatic way as well.

This will allow only CREATOR of folder (owner) to create folder or files in the specific folder.

Thank you shahsnehal but this does not work. Other users can still create contents in other's folders. I guess your solution may work if applied to every "l4a:esperienza" folder inside C_EXP space, not to C_EXP itself…

yes soulpower.. you need to applied it on each and every folder.. This can be achieved via Alfresco Web Client or Alfresco Share UI directly

The other way is , to write a custom action to be applied on each folder inside your desired folder which take care of permission management

Thank you shahsnehal, I think that the custom action is the right way to go.
