Ok, thanks.

For anyone who stumbles in this problem:
from sudo:
mkdir magento
chmod 777 magento
chown magento_user:magento_user magento
then, from magento_user:
composer ecc... works!

I just run the same command "composer create-project –repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition ." with sudo and it worked for me.
