Are you sure that the name "giamma" is a valid device name?  
Looking at the [api documentation](https://pushover.net/api#identifiers), it say's;

> If a device name is not specified for a user, or the specified device name is no longer enabled/valid, notifications will be sent to all active devices for that user to avoid losing messages.

We've all been there! It's easy to make mistakes, and the obvious one's can often be the most difficult to spot...
