Yeah that was the problem, thank you very much!
I attach again the whole and fixed procedure I followed, hoping that it
can be useful to other people. At the end of the e-mail you can find
also the jsondoc output I got.

1) Install a Fedora VirtualBox virtual machine;
2) In the virtual machine VirtualBox settings, set the network interface
in bridge mode;
3) Clone two times the virtual machine, enabling the "re-initialise MAC
addresses" option;
4) Start them and then run the following commands on each of them:

    Maybe not required, but to avoid all possible problems, I also
disabled the firewall
    # systemctl disable firewalld; systemctl stop firewalld
   
    # dnf -y install batctl
    then download and install alfred from git source code (certain
guides show alfredadv-vis , I instead got batadv-vis)

    # ip link set dev enp0s3 mtu 1532
    # batctl if add enp0s3
    # ip link set bat0 up
    # alfred -i enp0s3 -m

    Then I opened a new console (tty2)
    # cat /etc/hostname | alfred -s 65
    # batadv-vis -s

    Then I opened a new console (tty3)
    # cat /etc/hostname | alfred -s 65
    # alfred -r 65  (note: this one will show the info sent from the
three nodes only if you entered the previous command on all the VMs)
    # batadv-vis --format=jsondoc


And here we go!
