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?
