The -c option takes a single argument. Here you have given it more
than that. You should quote the -c argument so that it is all
recieved as one option.
su -c 'echo davide -norc'
For compatibility with traditional UNIX su commands you might want to
include the defaulted 'root' id.
su root -c 'echo davide -norc'
