hi there, is there any way to customize the right click context menu of
the taskbar and hide the "Pin this program to taskbar" menu item?

see my screenshot: http://6g6.eu/sih0-screenshot85.png (italian UI)

I hate that feature and I think it's useless... but sometimes I
accidentally click on it and this annoys me since I have then to unpin
it.

so do you know if there some tweak or software I can use to remove it or
hide it from the context menu?

See:

(found by a Bing search on '"pin to taskbar" context menu remove')

thanks for the link but this is effective only in right click context
menus you open when you right click on an exe file in a folder

the "pin to taskbar" item I've show in my screenshot is the one you see
right-clicking on a taskbar minimized item.

So did you actually try the article's workaround to see if it also
removes the Pin to Taskbar context menu entry when right-clicking on a
taskbar button for a currently running windowed application? Or did you
assume that Windows Explorer was different and separate of the taskbar
which is an object owned by the desktop manager? It is not clear in
your response that you actually tried the workaround.

Both Windows Explorer and the desktop manager are explorer.exe. That
is, explorer.exe is both the Windows Explorer and the desktop manager.
I would think modifying the context menu for Windows Explorer
(explorer.exe) would also modify the context menu for the desktop
manager (explorer.exe) for its taskbar object.

If you never want an app (running or not) pinned to the Taskbar then
disable taskbar pinning altogether. Some users don't like the mixing of
buttons for currently running windowed apps with the shortcuts (which
could be for a running or non-running apps). See:

If you don't want to change registry entries by double-clicking on a
..reg file, you could edit the .reg file and see what it proposes for
changes and do them yourself or just to understand what changes will
effect the disable/enable of taskbar pinning.
