Hi Valerio, I think you just explained the issue: you've been using a "snapshot" installation of Semantic Drilldown, using the Extension Distributor. The "snapshot" downloads should never be used for Semantic Drilldown - and actually, they shouldn't be used for any of the Semantic MediaWiki-based extensions. Those represent a random state of the code at some moment, and don't constitute any sort of stable version. I wish those didn't exist, actually, because they only serve to confuse a lot of people. I strongly recommend you download the latest version, 0.8.1, from the extension page - I bet that will solve your problem:
