Ciao Davide,
You have a way to change it on portal-level from the UI: left Product Menu > Control Panel > Configuration > Instance Settings > Miscellaneous > Logo
Or from the theme: src/images/favicon.ico

Hi Davide, sorry for the confusion, only site logo can be changed from Control Panel. Favicon Will be changed from custom theme: src/images/favicon.ico

I don't have a custom theme, can I edit the standard one?

Ideally, you should not do this change in the default theme. It's better to have a custom theme and apply this change.

But how can I do it?

Can you link me some documentation?

As Ankit is saying, the best way would be through a custom theme, but Olaf replied once on the same topic and explained about another (not suggested) alternative, https://stackoverflow.com/a/53360453:

"As an extreme, non-recommended, quickfix you might want to set the value in portal-ext.properties to theme.shortcut.icon=../../../myfavicon.ico and place a favicon with name myfavicon.ico in tomcat's webapps/ROOT/myfavicon.ico.
But don't come crying later, when you accidentally overwrite it in an upgrade."

Thank you, the non-recommended solution worked fine.
