That I would not know as I'm far away from Italy. I'm not sure Student/Teacher edition is offered outside US. Please consider checking with your local and/or WEB retailers.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
You might be able to find WEB retailer in the US shipping internationally, but because this software is so inexpensive shipping cost and potential custom dues would probably triple your price, so you might as well purchase full retail version of VS 2005 SE (with street price of just about $250) in the nearest store.

Yes, it is free and you can develop for NETCF using it. You can download it here :< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

(found using this query: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx pocId=&freetext=NET%20SDK&DisplayLang=en )
This article describes how to compile for NETCF using SDK:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172492.aspx
Note it's command line only and there's no debugger support (coming with NETCF V2 SP1 currently in beta).
Forgot to mention: C++/CLI is not supported by NETCF, only C# and VB.Net. You should use eVC 4 for that (also free).
Another way to go would be to purchase VS 2005 SE Student/Teacher edition which is not free, but very close:

That should allow you to develop anything in native code that you want.
If you want .Net, then I think you can download the resource kit, and that will give you all the command tools you need, although not the Visual Studio environment (The trial version may be included though):

The desktop .Net SDK now has everything required to build NetCF assemblies.
As for debugging, it ain't pretty but you might want to check out http://blogs.msdn.com/davidklinems/archive/2004/06/22/163029.aspx
Remember that managed C++ is not supported on NetCF - you'll have to use C# or VB
