I have set up procmail very recently (I'm not an expert) and find 
myself confronted with a problem I seem not to be able to solve 
easy.  

I set up the following list (a lot more receivers of course), which is
supposed to sort the mail to different mailboxes:

:0
* ^TOluca(_dot_)crosa(_at_)damcomar(_dot_)com
* !^FROM_DAEMON
! damco(_at_)pointest(_dot_)com

:0
* ^TOmauro(_dot_)bastelli(_at_)damcomar(_dot_)com
* !^FROM_DAEMON
! damco(_dot_)bologna(_at_)comm2000(_dot_)it


etc etc  [the list continues]

If mail is addressed to more then one receiver, with the above list 
only the first receiver gets a copy. How can I make sure that the 
same mail eventually addressed to more then 1 receiver is being 
correctly distributed. - Is this very complex?

You are trying to implement a virtual domain using procmail.  It will
be broken, because you are not giving procmail enough information.
Check out the following items in the procmail mini-FAQ:
