That index doesn't match the query ordering. You could do
select distinct on (articolo) articolo,data_ent,prezzo from listini_anagrafici
order by articolo desc, data_ent desc
In more recent versions of Postgres you could make an index with one
column ascending and the other descending, but AFAIR 8.1 doesn't have
that.
