OK ...
As I wrote , to read suggested docs , was a good thing.
I saw in both version of bootstrap the data lines for the customization of the "container-maincontainer" zone are identical ... so, probably, switching to the most recent bootstrap version would not have changed anything for me.
But this reading also made me reflect on the detail also the navmenu is contained in the same CSS class ... and what could be in the menu that could create that problem for me? One thing: the logo!
In fact the customization of the logo had led to larger sizes than those of the original Xoops logo ... in particular returning to the width of the logo within the previous measure, the problem has disappeared!
So it was my (unconscious) mistake to create this problem.
Now, the changes to the CSS that I had hypothesized are giving their result and the images are seen full screen even on mobile phones, without any problems!
Thank you everyone for the support.
