You can probably check the condition in a set of after triggers.
I think you'd need an after insert and update trigger on editoriale to
make sure the new value doesn't line up with a MembroCR = false
collaboratoreFisso and I think an after update trigger on
collaboratoreFisso to prevent MembroCR from being set to false on a row
that is referenced.
I think something in the general vein of the following untested, might
work as a starting point. You'll probably need to do some more work on
them.
create or replace function cfe1() returns trigger as $$
begin
perform 1 from CollaboratoreFisso where CollaboratoreFisso.CodiceFiscaleF
= NEW.MembroComitatoRedazione and CollaboratoreFisso.MembroCR = false for
read only;
if found then raise exception '...'; end if;
return NEW;
end;$$
language 'plpgsql';
create trigger cfet1 after insert or update on editoriale for each row
execute procedure cfe1();
create or replace function cfe2() returns trigger as $$
begin
if (NEW.MembroCR = false) then
perform 1 from editoriale where editoriale.MembroComitatoRedazione =
NEW.CodiceFiscaleF for read only;
if found then raise exception '...'; end if;
end if;
return NEW;
end;$$
language 'plpgsql';
create trigger cfet2 after update on CollaboratoreFisso for each row
execute procedure cfe2();

I'm not sure what you mean by redundancies here.
