Ciao Vincenzo. I know 2 good books to begin with audio recording, but don't know if they are in accessible form for you. One is "The Recording Engineer's Handbook" by Bobby Owinski, and the other is "Recording Techniques" by David Miles Huber. They are online at Mix Bookshelf.
If you're not looking for a job as audio engineer, don't worry about ProTools certification - you just need training to learn to use the program. Hope that helps.
