      Taco, this works!
Thank you!

Now (last question), it's possibile to centering in the middle of the page
the whole verse block ?

I was having fun with this as well while Hans was writing his generic
solution.
Here is an explicit ‘indent each 2nd and 3rd line’:
%%%%%%%%
\unprotect
\installindentingmethod {three}
{\c_spac_indentation_toggle_state\plusthree}
\unexpanded\def\spac_indentation_tri_toggle_indeed
  {\glet\checkindentation\spac_indentation_tri_toggle}
\unexpanded\def\spac_indentation_tri_toggle
  {\gdef\checkindentation
      {\spac_indentation_remove
       \gdef\checkindentation{\spac_indentation_tri_toggle_indeed}}}
% this next macro is redefinition of a core macro !
\def\spac_indentation_check_toggle
 {\ifcase\c_spac_indentation_toggle_state
    % nothing
  \or
    \spac_indentation_no_toggle
  \or
    \spac_indentation_do_toggle
  \or
    \spac_indentation_tri_toggle
  \fi}
\protect
%%%%%%%%%%
to be used with:
\setuplines[indenting=three]
Best wishes,
Taco

Per correr miglior acque alza le vele
omai la navicella del mio ingegno,
che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele;
e canterò di quel secondo regno
dove l'umano spirito si purga
e di salire al ciel diventa degno.
