I already told you what to do, aside from reading the documentation.
Have you removed the line from /etc/postfix/virtual? What is the output
of the following commands:

postmap -q fr...@nuvolabianca.org hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
postmap -q fr...@nuvolabianca.org hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox

Quoting from the original mail:

He seems to want fred to be a virtual (mailbox) user.

in that case he should not list fuckaround dot org in mydestination,
but in virtual_mailbox_domains

No, he shouldn't. Please carefully re-read his mail. He has a virtual
mailbox domain nuvolabianca.org and sends mail to fr...@nuvolabianca.org.
His problem is that this address is translated to a (non-existing) local
mailbox due to a spurious mapping in /etc/postfix/virtual.
