The problem is that you have not set up part aliases for mapping the footprint names in KiCAD to valid footprint names in VeroRoute. When you do File->Import Netlist->OrcadPCB2 and select the Prova_1.net file you will get a pop-up window titled "Error Importing Netlist" and it will say "Part: Name = Q1, Value = 2N3905, Type = Package_TO_SOT_THT:T0-92_Inline Error: Unknown part type".
