Hello Mr. Geometra Massimo Claudio Luigi Violetta,
That is quite a long name! Welcome!
Don't worry about the English, if we can communicate even via
translator soft that is great.

OK. I think MG5100 should work already in CVS sane. Can you get sane
from CVs repository (need git), and compile on your system? you can
use
$ BACKENDS="pixma" ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
(read the README.linux for more details).

If you can try color scanning at 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200  dpi please
let me know if it works or not.
If it does not work, then we need to get USB sniff traces from Windows
XP. But first, please let me know how much it works with current SANE
software.
