What is claimed is: 1. A container that has an outer surface and respective edges that are suitable to mate with each other in a closing configuration of the container, a shoulder strap having first and second fixing ends and an assembly for fixing the shoulder strap at said first and second ends thereof to the container, the assembly comprising: a first and a second receptacles fixed to the outer surface of the container, one for each one of said first and second shoulder strap ends, said receptacles being each shaped as a closed pocket provided with an opening facing in an opposite direction with respect to the edges of said container and, in a lateral wall, with a through hole that opens away from the surface of the container; at least one retention element for detachable retention of said ends of the shoulder strap, said retention element being plate shaped, provided with at least one female thread through hole in a side surface thereof, and suitable for insertion through said opening and for removable accommodation in either one of said receptacles so that the female thread through hole thereof faces, with corresponding arrangement, said through hole of the receptacle in which the retention element is inserted; at least one screw having an enlarged head, a central portion forming an abutment surface and a threaded free end portion, said threaded free end portion of the screw being adapted to pass through said through hole of the receptacle and engage detachably in said female thread through hole of the retention element with said abutment surface of the central portion bearing against said side surface of the retention element inserted in said receptacle; and at least one eyelet provided in any of said ends of the shoulder strap, said at least one screw being removably engageable with said enlarged head thereof in said at least one eyelet so as to allow rotation of said eyelet with respect to said at least one screw and prevent accidental detaching of the eyelet from said screw head. 2. A molded container composed of a first half shell and of second half shell articulated to each other and having an outer surface and respective edges that are suitable to mate with each other in a closing configuration of the container, a shoulder strap having first and second fixing ends and an assembly for fixing the shoulder strap at said first and second ends thereof to the container, the assembly comprising: a first and a second receptacles, one for each one of said first and second shoulder strap ends, that protrude from the outer surface of the container and are molded monolithically with one of said first and second half shells, said receptacles being each shaped as a closed pocket provided wit an opening facing in an opposite direction with respect to the edges of said container and, in a lateral wall, with a through hole that opens away from the surface of the container; at least one retention element for detachable retention of said ends of the shoulder strap, said retention element being plate shaped, provided with at least one female thread through hole in a side surface thereof, and suitable for insertion through said opening and for removable accommodation in either one of said receptacles so that the female thread through hole thereof faces, with corresponding arrangement, said through hole of the receptacle in which the retention element is inserted; at least one screw having an enlarged head, a central portion forming an abutment surface and a threaded free end portion, said threaded free end portion of the screw being adapted to pass through said through hole of the receptacle and engage detachably in said female thread through hole of the retention element with said abutment surface of the central portion bearing against said side surface of the retention element inserted in said receptacle; and at least one eyelet provided in any of said ends of the shoulder strap, said at least one screw being removably engageable with said enlarged head thereof in said at least one eyelet so as to allow rotation of said eyelet with respect to said at least one screw and prevent accidental detaching of the eyelet from said screw head. 3. An assembly for fixing a shoulder strap at first and second ends thereof to a container that has an outer surface and respective edges that are suitable to mate with each other in a closing configuration of the container, the assembly comprising: a first and a second receptacles fixed to the outer surface of the container, one for each one of the first and second shoulder strap ends, said receptacles being each shaped as a closed pocket provided with an opening facing in an opposite direction with respect to the edges of the container and, in a lateral wall, with a through hole that opens away from the surface of the container; at least one retention element for detachable retention of the ends of the shoulder strap, said retention element being plate shaped, provided with at least one female thread through hole in a side surface thereof, and suitable for insertion through said opening and for removable accommodation in either one of said receptacles so that the female thread through hole thereof faces, with corresponding arrangement, said through hole of the receptacle in which the retention element is inserted; at least one screw having an enlarged head, a central portion forming an abutment surface and a threaded free end portion, said threaded free end portion of the screw being adapted to pass trough said through hole of the receptacle and engage detachably in said female thread through hole of the retention element with said abutment surface of the central portion bearing against said side surface of the retention element inserted in said receptacle; and at least one eyelet provided in any of said ends of the shoulder strap, said at least one screw being removably engageable with said enlarged head thereof in said at least one eyelet so as to allow rotation of said eyelet with respect to said at least one screw and prevent accidental detaching of the eyelet from said screw head. 4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein said container comprises half shells, said receptacles shaped as a pocket being formed each by a protrusion which is provided substantially at an edge of one of said half-shells, said protrusion having a transverse cross-section which is substantially shaped like an inverted letter U, and being open on an opposite side with respect to said edge in order to allow insertion and extraction of the retention element. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein said protrusion is provided molded monolithically with one of the half-shells of the container. 6. The assembly of claim 4, comprising two retention elements, each of which is shaped substantially like a plate and has a transverse cross-section which is complementary to a cross-section of said receptacle, within which the retention elements are accommodated with suitable play in order to allow easy and quick insertion thereof and easy and quick extraction thereof. 7. The assembly of claim 4, wherein said central portion of said at least one screw has a larger diameter than said threaded free end portion and is adapted to be inserted without interference in said through hole of the receptacle. 8. The assembly of claim 7, wherein said at least one eyelet has a first opening portion for insertion of said head of the screw, a second opening portion connected to and smaller than said first opening portion and which has a diameter that is substantially equal to the diameter of said central portion of the screw, said screw head being suitable to engage said second opening portion so that accidental detaching thereof is prevented.
