Just a guess, but I think this is what you want:

IF (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') THEN
EXECUTE 'CREATE TABLE ' || NEW.nome_tabella || ' (ordinativo serial PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (nome_tabella = "' || NEW.nome_tabella || '"::text))
INHERITS (database_t);'

i.e. you want:

CREATE TABLE table_name (x serial PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (column_name = "table_name"::text))
INHERITS (database_t);

The first "table_name" is not quoted. The second one has
double-quotes (") around it. So you need the whole thing to be quoted
with single-quotes (') and then use '...' || variable || '...' for the
first one and '..."' || variable || '"::text...' for the second one.

I hope that makes sense.
