Indeed, after a little of brain working, I managed and find a good compromise solution. Now, you can see from http://www.arbea.basilicata.it/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=168 all functions (and, well, Progressbar counting also). I use a PHP script which builds a JavaScript. It attempts and recover lat-lng fields from db; if it finds, it simple add a marker; if it DOESN'T find, it calls another PHP script, a proxy for Google HTTP geocoding, which retrieves coordinates, and add them to db. Not to complicate things, first PHP script in this case also use GClientGeocoder and render another marker. I added my db table a trigger: if "address" field changes, "lat" and "lng" fields are set to NULL. Next execution, my script will populate it; so I also solved problems, of maintaning my db management easy. Thank you all for your answer; you drove me learning a lot about Google geocoding.
