Hi, Rodolfo,
try
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = #"Violino P[rimo]" } << ... >>
inside the \score block.
Untuitively, the grace note happens "before time zero", while the \set
command is implicitly executed just "at time zero". Thus, the staff is
drawn (with it's corresponding instrumentName) when the grace note
requires it, and that's too early.
The \with clause sets a global default for this Staff context regardless
of the time; this should work out.
HTH,
Alexander
