I solved by overwriting the resolv.conf file with only two lines: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

Now I fear I shouldn't have completely overwritten the file with only those two lines. I'm completely new to Linux; do you think it will generate more problems?

Thanks in advance!

    There is no problem because this file gets overwritten if you reconnect to your wifi. However, it seems that your wifi router is not configured well enough to provide the actual DNS server to elementary OS.
