servfail only for a zone

[John Miller]

Something I'm noticing is that your SOA record fields are quite small:

aquilacorde.com.    3600    IN    SOA    ns1.virtualbit.it.
info.aquilacorde.com. 2015070601 1200 180 3600 3600

Specifically, your expiration time (first of the 3600s) is set to one
hour.  This means that if ns2 hasn't contacted ns1 in an hour, the zone
will be invalid on ns2.  If you're making a whole ton of updates, then the
small times make sense, but for the zone you posted, that doesn't seem to
be the case.  Normally it's not a problem, but if you can't respond to a
communication outage between the two nameservers within an hour, the second
will stop working.

This is just a guess, but network communication/failed zone transfer seems
the most likely culprit for something like this (entire zone returns
SERVFAIL).
