Hi to everybody,
I'm wondering to put a slideshow into my homepage. I'm looking for something that loads images each 5 seconds and use a kind of transaction between them (like fade).
Does exist a simple module for that? I found scores of gallery, but they're too hard to figure out.

ddblock is simple enough for this. You just need to brush up on the instructions.

You could also try Views Slideshow, but of course you then need to use Views, you need a content type with the images... it can get complicated and you might most want to use it if your slide design is complicated (text to accompany images, etc). Anyway, it can handle complex slide content, transitions, text, etc and is worth considering if you are at all comfortable with Views (and probably custom CSS).

See you at the Drupalcon!

I've installed ddblock so far.
It works, but I got some problem with the configuration.
Container's size are 500by500 and I set 0by0 for the images, hoping to retrieve original picture size.
Instead I see images very small and it stretches everything as a square.
I'll be happy to specify picture size, but how can I avoid stretching?

If you specify width and height for images, the HTML context will scale them to whatever you specify. So if you leave the height and width empty, then you should get the natural size of the images. It's best in an image rotator that you use images that are all the same size and that you ideally set the container to that size.
