Hi Francesco,

In your example the cv source block only seems to have a single variable
specified with a :var header argument (namely v-jobtitle), e.g.

#+srcname: cv
#+begin_src latex :noweb yes :var v-jobtitle="Software Engineer"
...
#+end_src

however your example noweb reference uses 4 variables.  You will need to
update the cv source block so that each variable is given a header
argument.

#+srcname: cv
#+headers: :var v-firstname="Alex" :var v-familyname="Pizzo"
#+headers: :var v-jobtitle="Project Manager" :var employee="alex"
#+begin_src latex :noweb yes :var v-jobtitle="Software Engineer"
...
#+end_src

then ensure that you can call the cv function using a call line, e.g.

#+call: cv(v-firstname="Alex",v-familyname="Pizzo",v-jobtitle="Project Manager",employee="alex")

Once that is working then the noweb reference should work as well.

Best -- Eric
