Dear Sir,
I would like to ask your help or any hint in the procedure i have to follow to calculate the truss member forces.
Consider all distances as given, and also all forces that are externally applied as given.
The two supports are unknown (2 hinges).

A hint?

You need to use the virtual work method, or other indeterminate solving algorithm adapted for trusses.

See section 4
