You can't copy a range with more areas in one time

Try this with Dati.xls open but not active
The sheet where you want to copy from is the active sheet

Sub test()
With Workbooks("Dati.xls").Sheets("Standard")
.Unprotect Password:="xxx"
ActiveSheet.Range("D:F").Copy .Range("A1")
ActiveSheet.Range("I:L").Copy .Range("F1")
.Protect Password:="xxx"
End With
End Sub
