Good link.
If you are in the UK it's the wrong time of year.

One thing that link fails to mention is that rats and mice will know when
the cobs are ready and will get to them first if you are not careful.

Filippo, I'll send this to a friend who lives in Italy to see if they
can help you. This is a mainly British gardening group so what works
for us might not work for you.

I asked an American friend who has lived in Italy for many years for
her advice and she replied:

"If he means edible sweet corn, he needs to find the right seed. The
directions will be on the packet, but it is important to plant a block,
not a single long row, because otherwise it can't pollinate. Then as
it starts to grow, you need to hill the soil up a bit, eventually
reaching about 20-22 cm. The next hurdle for an Italian is picking it
young and not letting it get mature and starchy. This my neighbors
never get. Start checking by cracking a small portion of the husks
just when the silks start going brown at the end, and don't let it get
all the way brown."
