Thanks everyone for the suggestions on the manuals. I knew the resource
reported by Alain and, of course, that of Joaquín, whose translation into
Italian I have completed, but not yet refined.
However, I didn't know the file reported by Mikael, which I found to be an
excellent tutorial to get started with.
The documentation on ConTeXt is copious, and we know it: just look at the
manuals on Contextgarden. But it is decidedly fragmented, and this
disorientates the user.
I believe, therefore, that what the community misses is a
tutorial/reference manual/complete guide that comes *directly* from the
ConTeXt team (Hans, Wolfgang, etc). And, above all, that it is up to date:
on Contextgarden many ‘valid’ manuals date back to many years ago, and the
obsolescence of the software guides could make people say something like
«well, stuff from years ago, I don't trust it».
A manual in a single file that has, in short, the seal of officiality: the
various resources in circulation are just as many excellent efforts by
individuals, who however have put their own approach to ConTeXt into their
work. Perhaps there is a more correct approach than others, more essential,
which is worth knowing.
I am speaking to you as a LaTeX user, and therefore I may have written a
lot of nonsense in my message.
I conclude by saying that, in the end, the ConTeXt team may not be
interested in all this, and therefore our discussions are pure academic. :)
Ciao
Tommaso

Hi,
This small example from BachoTeX 2023 could perhaps be useful for someone: https://github.com/mpsmath/stepbystep
For tutorials, I had played around with using a git repo as a tutorial:
