Hello all
anyone could give me an hints (a link to a resource or a site) on how
to obtain satellite position starting from azimuth and elevation from a
site?
thanks all

You need to better explain what you want. If you mean where the satellite
is in space, the azimuth and elevation from a single site are not sufficient
information to find that.

You're true...
I need to know GPS satellite position, i've data of about 10 igs gps
station with relative rinex data and also elevation and azimuth of
every satellite for all stations.
i need to know satellite position for tomographic purposes
Thanks in advance

What are you trying to accomplish?
Free Trimble Planning software might be what you want.
It will allow you to plot obstructions around multiple GPS receivers, and
you can see detailed information about the location of all satellites at a
given point in time.

You "import" the current almanac as an ssf file from the download page.
http://www.trimble.com/planningsoftware.shtml

The visible satellites over my location, listed with az/el:

Time G01 G04 G11 G13 G16 G20 G23 G24 G25 R18
13:00 26 77 13 315 13 207 28 288 39 113 83 250 58 315 27 293 37 48 40 244

Time G01 G04 G13 G16 G20 G23 G24 G25 R18
13:10 23 81 14 311 31 292 42 108 81 215 61 322 28 288 33 49 44 250
13:20 20 84 16 307 34 296 44 102 77 197 63 330 27 283 29 50 47 256

Are you looking for a geostationary satellite, like DirecTV or Dish?
Their web sites have satellite locators, given your zip code ot lat/long
that return azimuth and elevation.
