While my Italian isn't really good enough to analyze your function, the
above error seems simple.  tab_estrazioni probably has the field
prefisso, which is defined as NOT NULL with no default.  In the above
code, you're trying to add a record to tab_estrazioni filling in only
the columns id_lista, pre, and tel.  Without a default or a supplied
value, this inserts NULL into the prefisso column, which the database
rejects.

Thus the solution is to either: a) Change prefisso to NULL, b) give
prefisso a default, or c) supply a value for prefisso.  Unfortunatley,
the first two require dropping and re-creating the table.
