In your case the bpm_assignee cannot be resolved because you have not passed on the data from the task where the user sets if (creaCSS user task) so that the other task (valutaCSS) can used. Data is not automatically transferred from a task to the workflow and you must define task listeners to copy the data you need. You have done so already for psw_esitoValutazioneCS in the second task but must also do this for bpm_assignee in the first.

Did your share-config-custom contain an task-type entry that corresponds to the content type "psw:activitiCreaCSSemplice"?

Ok, so I need something like this in my "creaCSS" task?

<activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.taskListener.ScriptTaskListener">
     <activiti:field name="script">
          <activiti:string>
               <![CDATA[execution.setVariable('bpm_assignee', task.getVariableLocal('bpm_assignee'))]]>
          </activiti:string>
     </activiti:field>
</activiti:taskListener>

Or I need another variable like this:

<activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.taskListener.ScriptTaskListener">
     <activiti:field name="script">
          <activiti:string>
               <![CDATA[var assegnatario = task.getVariableLocal('bpm_assignee')]]>
          </activiti:string>
     </activiti:field>
</activiti:taskListener>

And then I have to pass "assegnatario" to "valutaCSS", so something like

<userTask id="valutaCSS" name="Valuta Certificato di Servizio (semplice)" activiti:formKey="psw:activitiValutaCS">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string><![CDATA[if(task.getVariableLocal('psw_esitoValutazioneCS') == 'Approvato'){
    execution.setVariable('psw_prosegui', true);
    }else{
    execution.setVariable('psw_prosegui', false);
    }]]></activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:taskListener>
      </extensionElements>
      <humanPerformer>
                <resourceAssignmentExpression>
                    <formalExpression>${assegnatario.properties.userName}</formalExpression>
                </resourceAssignmentExpression>
            </humanPerformer>
    </userTask>

No, I didn't, I'm doing it now

The first option. The second does not do anything at all - the "var" is immediately being lost when the script context is exited.

Few points

I do not see any out going flow from your first user task.
In none of your task forms you have added bpm:assignee. In order to use it you have to include it as part of your tasks in workflow model and need to include it in form for task where you want it to be selected.
For using group assignment you will have to use bpm_groupAssignee

Hope this helps you to figure out your issue.
