There are two problems. Firstly, you have double-quotes in the rule definition that aren't escaped. The shell will divide arguments on those quotes. Secondly, there is a syntax error. The use pool ... command should be simply pool .... The following works:

curl -k -u 'admin:pass' -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST https://host/mgmt/tm/ltm/rule -d \
  '{ "name" : "RuleUpload", "apiAnonymous" : "when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with \"/portalCiccio\" } { pool dinonnapapera } elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with \"/scriptCiccio\" } { pool dinonnapapera } else { TCP::close } }" }'
