You're perfectly right. Anyway now I removed GPG 1.4.11, at least for the time 
being.
So my gpg version (via gpg --version) is 2.0.17

If I recall correctly I already had gpg 1.4.11 and MacGPG2 together, but 
without issues.

Alas, it didn't (or maybe I didn't follow your suggestions correctly).
I uncommented the use-agent option in gpg-conf and created gpg-agent.conf file 
with the options you suggested.

Since it didn't work I tried removing GPGTools together with all the 
preferences 
in the library (I didn't dare to touch the conf files in .gnupg lest to mess 
with what I 
modified some time ago).
I also commented again the use agent option in gpg.conf.

Now things seem to work, even if pinentry insists in giving me strange messages 
on the console:

Thank you very much for the kind support and walkthrough (also the following 
mail helped, even if pinentry-mac didn't pop up to ask me for my passphrase).
