What i don't understand is why:

s = u"ciao è ciao" is converting a string to unicode, decoding it from the
specified encoding but

t = "ciao è ciao"
t = unicode(t)

That should do exactly the same instead of using the specified encoding
always assume that if i'm not telling the function what the encoding is, i'm
using ASCII.

Is this a bug?

Did you read the Unicode tutorial at the link I posted? Here's the link again:
