To enable use of .htaccess files, you need to change the AllowOverride None to:

AllowOverride All

Also remember to restart Apache after making changes to the configuration (changes have no effect until you do). Usually, something like rcapache2 reload or apache2ctl graceful will do it, but if these don't work, you may need to check the documentation for your configuration.

The .htaccess file should be placed in the webroot directory (/home/gabriele/Web/safememoirs/ in your case).

Also make sure you put:

 RewriteEngine On

in the .htaccess file before any rules.
