The form of the title statement (without formatting) is:

title <text string>;

To resolve macro variables within text, you need to use double quotes = ". So in your given example:

title1 "data pr &ardato.";

Note the double quotes surrounding all the text. Also, always put the dot after the macro, you may get away with it in most circumstances, but it is good practice to always put it there.

To resolve macro variable you have ti use double quotation like "&macrovarname."
