   The excerpt will display only if your theme calls it. You'll have to look in your theme file and see if they are using the_except() or the_content().

   thank you, BUT, i've just installed the latest version of WP without change anything.. so is that normal to not to see excerpt, the_except() or the_content() functions have to exists already into the code.. i'm wrong?

   When you mean a fresh install of WordPress, do you also mean that you are using the Twenty Eleven theme. I don't think that theme displays the excerpt that way.
