The actions of commenting the CSS will indeed prevent the background-color attribute from being rendered. However it's not *solving* the problem, which is that "active-trail" is activated for the wrong path.
I am guessing that there are residual quirks due to the advice of http://drupal.org/node/678758. Perhaps duplicate/conflicting aliases. Short of manually inspecting the menu tables in the database, you might try deleting all related paths/aliases and menu items and starting over again.

This is probably not what you want. You want instead the content of
http://bartosandrini.com/home to appear as the front page of the site.
http://bartosandrini.com/home is node 33. Therefore under
/admin/settings/site-information, make the default front page this:
node/33.
Then, in your primary links, set the path of the "Home" item to <front>.
Thanks for clarifying how using "node" behaves; I presumed this even though the previous advice I received in the forum said to use it anyway. I was too much of a newbie to disagree yet.
The original problem about highlighting still exists. My active menu link, when I am at the root of the website, is not highlighted.
So I am digging into the theme looking for overrides and active-trail. All I found was this in my stylesheet.css by TopNotchThemes.
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail { background: #ad462b; color: #fff; }
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail a { background: #ad462b; color: #fff; }
and then, of course, the usual:
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active a, with a background color and font color
I am going to try to comment out the sections with active-trail in them and see what happens.
Do you have any other ideas about how to solve this?
