The gaseous fuel is supplied directly into the cylinder only starting from an instant subsequent to closing of the first intake valve (VA) and prior to opening of the second intake valve (VB) in such a way as to be able to obtain a regular combustion, without pre-ignition phenomena or backfiring phenomena, thanks to the cooling obtained during opening of the first intake valve.

An internal combustion engine has at least one intake valve (V1, V2) for each cylinder, actuated by a cam (14) adapted for providing a lift profile having two maximum points spaced apart from each other, for example a profile with two lobes, or a boot profile. Each intake valve is actuated by a respective cam via a hydraulic circuit that can be pressurized or discharged by an electrically actuated control valve (24), controlled by an electronic controller. When the electronic controller detects an engine operating condition with a low engine load, the controller actuates each intake valve (V1, V2) with a first opening period and a second opening period interspersed with a phase in which the intake valve is closed, while the respective piston is descending towards its BDC, so as to create a depression in the respective cylinder which generates a jet of air entering the cylinder during the subsequent second opening period. The second opening period begins when the piston has passed the BDC and is ascending towards the TDC. In this way, during a first part of the second opening period, while the piston is ascending towards the TDC, said jet of air is created entering the cylinder due to the depression created in the cylinder between the first opening period and the second opening period, while during a second part of the second opening period the depression in the cylinder is progressively reduced until it is eliminated and a portion of air is pushed back into the intake duct by the piston that continues to rise towards the TDC. The second opening period has a duration sufficient to generate an effective compression ratio which is at least 5 and sufficiently high to generate a temperature of the mixture within the cylinder, when the piston reaches the TDC, of at least 500 K.
