                   url: "sendNot.php",
                   type: "POST",
                   data: {titolo:titolo.value,messaggio:messaggio.value},

Try this:

$.colorbox({href:"loading.html",title:'send notification...',escKey:false,width:300,height:00,
overlayClose:false,onClosed:function() { location.reload(true); }});

Just to clarify the difference - the plugin allows you to supply a callback function for the onClosed event, which must be a named or anonymous function. This is an anonymous function - you could have easily done the following instead, to improve readability / reusability (in some cases). Notice the lack of brackets on the callback.

    $.colorbox({href:"loading.html",title:'send notification...',escKey:false,width:300,height:00,
    overlayClose:false,onClosed:reloadPage});

function reloadPage() {
    location.reload(true); 
}
