Hi,
I inserted this line at the end of the pg_hba.conf

host    test        angelo      ""          ident sameuser

I inserted the "" to allow to everyone to access to the db.
But if I try to access, from another host, I receive an error. What is
the error in that line?

   host test angelo         0.0.0.0/0         ident sameuser

if you want to allow angelo to connect to database test from any IP... *HOWEVER* "ident sameuser" should *not* be used for HOST connections, its only reliable for LOCAL connections. instead, assign angelo a password...

   alter user angelo with encrypted password 'somepassword';

and in pg_hba.conf, specify...

   host test angelo      0.0.0.0/0      md5

note, also, if there are any pg_hba.conf records in FRONT of this one which would match on the connection, they will be used INSTEAD... for instance...

   host all all 192.168.1.0/24   md5

that allows any user, any database on the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 to connect with md5 password authentication, and any following records would be ignored.
