How can I associate a specific application pool to site?

You can do this:

APPCMD.exe set app "prova/" /applicationPool:"YOUR_APP_POOL_NAME_HERE"

Note the trailing slash appended to prova, that's important.

For example if I wish to set the application pool for prova to the DefaultAppPool I would issue the following command:

APPCMD.exe set app "prova/" /applicationPool:"DefaultAppPool"

Picking up from Chris's comment below, if you have an existing application in your site, say /mybloggy and you wish to change application pool it belongs to then you'd issue the following:

APPCMD.exe set app "prova/mybloggy" /applicationPool:"DefaultAppPool"
