From: /admin/listmodules.php?action=showmodulehelp&module=News

(optional) category="category" - Only display items for that category. Use * after the name to show children. Multiple categories can be used if separated with a comma. Leaving empty, will show all categories.

So try calling it like this:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='news' detailpage='dettaglio' number='20' category='cat1*,cat2*,another_category*' moretext='leggi tutto'}

It should work if you just leave "altro" out of the list of categories.
