The welder told me that wasn't a problem weld the holes and the crack on the frame and suggested me to introduce an aluminium plug in the seat tube to reinforce the cracked area.
So I done the plug and the new dropouts, the right is screwed and the left one to weld on.
But... the frame is in magnesium, and the dropouts in aluminium, so it's impossible to weld the frame with the left dropout. I'm looking for a piece of magnesium, but it's really really difficult to find.
I asked to a local aircraft factory, but due to the high flammability they didn't use from far.
In conclusion: if I don't find the magnesium to do the left dropout, the Dogma is died!
I'm imagining to weld by my self a full aluminium frame...!
